Self-consistent modelling of the Milky Way structure using live potentials
Eva Durán-Camacho, Ana Duarte-Cabral, Alex R. Pettitt +6
To advance our understanding of the evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, numerical models of Milky Way (MW) type galaxies are widely used. However, most models…
The impact of bar origin and morphology on stellar migration
Elizabeth J. Iles, Alex R. Pettitt, Takashi Okamoto +1
Different mechanisms driving bar structure formation indicate that bar origins should be distinguishable in the stellar populations of galaxies. To study how these origins affect d…
The formation of clusters and OB associations in different density spiral arm environments
C. L. Dobbs, T. J. R. Bending, A. R. Pettitt +2
We present simulations of the formation and evolution of clusters in spiral arms. The simulations follow two different spiral arm regions, and the total gas mass is varied to produ…
Magnetic field evolution and reversals in spiral galaxies
C. L. Dobbs, D. J. Price, A. R. Pettitt +2
We study the evolution of galactic magnetic fields using 3D smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD) simulations of galaxies with an imposed spiral potential. We consider the…
The morphology of the Milky Way - I. Reconstructing CO maps from simulations in fixed potentials
Alex R. Pettitt, Clare L. Dobbs, David M. Acreman +1
We present an investigation into the morphological features of the Milky Way. We use smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) to simulate the interstellar medium (ISM) in the Milky Wa…
Age, size, and position of H ii regions in the Galaxy. Expansion of ionized gas in turbulent molecular clouds
P. Tremblin, L. D. Anderson, P. Didelon +8
This work aims at improving the current understanding of the interaction between H ii regions and turbulent molecular clouds. We propose a new method to determine the age of a larg…
