Stochastic angular momentum slews and flips and their effect on discs in galaxy formation models
Nelson Padilla, Salvador Salazar-Albornoz, Sergio Contreras +2
The angular momentum of galactic discs in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation is usually updated in time as material is accreted to the disc by adopting a constant dimensionle…
Calibration of semi-analytic models of galaxy formation using Particle Swarm Optimization
Andrés N. Ruiz, Sofía A. Cora, Nelson D. Padilla +8
We present a fast and accurate method to select an optimal set of parameters in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation and evolution (SAMs). Our approach compares the results of…
Structure Finding in Cosmological Simulations: The State of Affairs
Alexander Knebe, Frazer R. Pearce, Hanni Lux +32
The ever increasing size and complexity of data coming from simulations of cosmic structure formation demands equally sophisticated tools for their analysis. During the past decade…
