Impact of subhalo dynamical friction heating on the formation of the first structures in the universe
Zhenyu Wu, Sadegh Khochfar, Muhammad A. Latif +2
We present a model for gas heating, driven by dynamical friction from orbiting subhalos within dark matter halos. Using data from the TNG50 simulation, we derive the subhalo mass f…

A New Residual Distribution Hydrodynamics Solver for Astrophysical Simulations
Ben Morton, Sadegh Khochfar, Zhenyu Wu
Many astrophysical systems can only be accurately modelled when the behaviour of their baryonic gas components is well understood. The residual distribution (RD) family of partial…

Gaseous Dynamical Friction: a Numerical Study of Extended Perturbers
Ben Morton, Sadegh Khochfar, Jose Oñorbe
The process of momentum and energy transfer between a massive body and a background medium it is moving through is known as dynamical friction (DF). It is key to our understanding…
