SMUGGLE-Ring: Evolutionary link between nuclear star cluster and nuclear disk
SungWon Kwak, Mathias Schultheis, Ivan Minchev +8
We present a high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of the formation and evolution of nuclear structures in a Milky Way-mass galaxy using the SMUGGLE model. The system naturally…
The SMUGGLE-Ring project: Bar and bulge effects on nuclear disk and ring formation
SungWon Kwak, Federico Marinacci, Matthias Steinmetz +8
We present the first results from the SMUGGLE-Ring project, a suite of simulations employing the SMUGGLE ISM and stellar feedback model to explore nuclear structures in Milky Way-m…
Effects of resolution and local stability on galactic disks: Halo resolution and softening on bar formation
SungWon Kwak, Ivan Minchev, Matthias Steinmetz +1
Using N-body simulations, we examine the impact of dark matter (DM) halo resolution and gravitational softening on bar formation. We generate isolated disk-halo systems with fixed…
Effects of Resolution and Local Stability on Galactic Disks: I. Multiple Spiral Mode Formation via Swing Amplification
SungWon Kwak, Ivan Minchev, Christoph Pfrommer +2
We investigate the formation of multiple spiral modes in Milky Way-like disk-halo systems without explicitly exciting perturbations. We explore how numerical resolution, the level…
The impact of radial migration on disk galaxy star formation histories I. Biases in spatially resolved estimates
I. Minchev, K. Attard, B. Ratcliffe +9
Knowledge of the spatially resolved star formation history (SFH) of disk galaxies provides crucial insight into disk assembly, quenching, and chemical evolution. However, most reco…
Bar-spiral interaction produces radial migration and star formation bursts
Léa Marques, Ivan Minchev, Bridget Ratcliffe +8
Central bars and spirals are known to strongly impact the evolution of their host galaxies, both in terms of dynamics and star formation. Their typically different pattern speeds c…
