Cosmic ray feedback in hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy and galaxy cluster formation
Christoph Pfrommer, Volker Springel, Martin Jubelgas +1
It is well known that cosmic rays (CRs) contribute significantly to the pressure of the interstellar medium in our own Galaxy, suggesting that they may play an important role in re…
Simulating cosmic rays in clusters of galaxies - I. Effects on the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and the X-ray emission
Christoph Pfrommer, Torsten A. Ensslin, Volker Springel +2
We performed high-resolution simulations of a sample of 14 galaxy clusters that span a mass range from 5 x 10^13 M_solar/h to 2 x 10^15 M_solar/h to study the effects of cosmic ray…
The first generation of stars in LCDM cosmology
L. Gao, N. Yoshida, T. Abel +3
We have performed a large set of high-resolution cosmological simulations using smoothed particle hydrodynamics to study the formation of the first luminous objects in the LCDM cos…
Formation of z ~ 6 quasars from hierarchical galaxy mergers
Yuexing Li, Lars Hernquist, Brant Robertson +8
The discovery of luminous quasars at redshift z ~ 6 indicates the presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of mass ~10^9 Msun when the Universe was less than one billion years…
Physical viscosity in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of galaxy clusters
Debora Sijacki, Volker Springel
Most hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy cluster formation carried out to date have tried to model the cosmic gas as an ideal, inviscid fluid, where only a small amount of (unwant…
Feedback and metal enrichment in cosmological SPH simulations - II. A multiphase model with supernova energy feedback
Cecilia Scannapieco, Patricia B. Tissera, Simon D. M. White +1
We have developed a new scheme to treat a multiphase interstellar medium in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of galaxy formation. This scheme can represent a co-spatial…
