Thin disc, Thick Disc and Halo in a Simulated Galaxy
C. B. Brook, G. S. Stinson, B. K. Gibson +8
Within a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, we form a disc galaxy with sub- components which can be assigned to a thin stellar disc, thick disk, and a low mass stellar halo vi…
The stellar metallicity distribution of disc galaxies and bulges in cosmological simulations
F. Calura, B. K. Gibson, L. Michel-Dansac +11
By means of high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-like disc galaxies, we conduct an analysis of the associated stellar metallicity distribution funct…
Disc Heating: Comparing the Milky Way with Cosmological Simulations
Elisa House, Chris B. Brook, Brad K. Gibson +9
We present the analysis of a suite of simulations run with different particle-and grid-based cosmological hydrodynamical codes and compare them with observational data of the Milky…
Hierarchical formation of bulgeless galaxies: Why outflows have low angular momentum
C. B. Brook, F. Governato, R. Roskar +9
Using high resolution, fully cosmological smoothed particle hydro-dynamical simulations of dwarf galaxies in a Lambda cold dark matter Universe, we show how baryons attain a final…
Orbital Eccentricity as a probe of Thick Disk Formation Scenarios
Laura V. Sales, Amina Helmi, Mario G. Abadi +7
We study the orbital properties of stars in four (published) simulations of thick disks formed by: i) accretion from disrupted satellites, ii) heating of a pre-existing thin disk b…
Hydrodynamical Adaptive Mesh Refinement Simulations of Disk Galaxies
Brad K. Gibson, Stephanie Courty, Patricia Sanchez-Blazquez +4
To date, fully cosmological hydrodynamic disk simulations to redshift zero have only been undertaken with particle-based codes, such as GADGET, Gasoline, or GCD+. In light of the (…
