Dynamical friction in constant density cores: a failure of the Chandrasekhar formula
J. I. Read, Tobias Goerdt, Ben Moore +3
Using analytic calculations and N-body simulations we show that in constant density (harmonic) cores, sinking satellites undergo an initial phase of very rapid (super-Chandrasekhar…
The Formation of a Realistic Disk Galaxy in Lambda Dominated Cosmologies
F. Governato, L. Mayer, J. Wadsley +6
We simulate the formation of a realistic disk galaxy within the hierarchical scenario of structure formation and study its internal properties to the present epoch. We compare resu…
The effect of non--gravitational gas heating in groups and clusters of galaxies
S. Borgani, F. Governato, J. Wadsley +5
We present a set of gas-dynamical simulations of galaxy groups and clusters aimed at exploring the effect of non-gravitational heating. We use GASOLINE, a parallel Tree+SPH code, t…
The descendents of Lyman Break Galaxies in galaxy clusters: spatial distribution and orbital properties
F. Governato, S. Ghigna, B. Moore +3
We combine semi-analytical methods with a ultra-high resolution simulation of a galaxy cluster (of mass 2.3 10^14h-1Msolar, and 4 10^6 particles within its virial radius) formed in…
Properties of Galaxy Clusters: Mass and Correlation Functions
F. Governato, A. Babul, T. Quinn +4
We analyse parallel N-body simulations of three Cold Dark Matter (CDM) universes to study the abundance and clustering of galaxy clusters. The simulations cover a volume comparable…
