Time-dependent metal ionization and the persistence of collisionally excited emission lines in the diffuse ionized gas of star forming galaxies
Lewis McCallum, Kenneth Wood, Robert Benjamin +2
We extend our time-dependent hydrogen ionization simulations of diffuse ionized gas to include metals important for collisional cooling and diagnostic emission lines. The combinati…
The persistence of high altitude non-equilibrium diffuse ionized gas in simulations of star forming galaxies
Lewis McCallum, Kenneth Wood, Robert Benjamin +4
Widespread, high altitude, diffuse ionized gas with scale heights of around a kiloparsec is observed in the Milky Way and other star forming galaxies. Numerical radiation-magnetohy…
The FLAMINGO Project: Galaxy clusters in comparison to X-ray observations
Joey Braspenning, Joop Schaye, Matthieu Schaller +10
Galaxy clusters are important probes for both cosmology and galaxy formation physics. We test the cosmological, hydrodynamical FLAMINGO simulations by comparing to observations of…
SOFIA/HAWC+ observations of the Crab Nebula: dust properties from polarised emission
Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Brandon S. Hensley +14
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are well-recognised dust producers, but their net dust production rate remains elusive due to uncertainties in grain properties that propagate into observ…
Modelling of ionising feedback with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer on a Voronoi grid
Maya A. Petkova, Bert Vandenbroucke, Ian A. Bonnell +1
The ionising feedback of young massive stars is well known to influence the dynamics of the birth environment and hence plays an important role in regulating the star formation pro…
Polarised emission from aligned dust grains in nearby galaxies: predictions from the Auriga simulations
Bert Vandenbroucke, Maarten Baes, Peter Camps +3
(Aims) In this work, we predict the far-infrared polarisation signal emitted by non-spherical dust grains in nearby galaxies. We determine the angular resolution and sensitivity re…
SpheCow: flexible dynamical models for galaxies and dark matter haloes
Maarten Baes, Peter Camps, Bert Vandenbroucke
Simple but flexible dynamical models are useful for many purposes, including serving as the starting point for more complex models or numerical simulations of galaxies, clusters, o…
Photoionization feedback in turbulent molecular clouds
Nina S. Sartorio, Bert Vandenbroucke, Diego Falceta-Goncalves +1
We present a study of the impact of photoionization feedback from young massive stars on the turbulent statistics of star-forming molecular clouds. This feedback is expected to alt…
Infrared luminosity functions and dust mass functions in the EAGLE simulation
Maarten Baes, Ana Trčka, Peter Camps +6
We present infrared luminosity functions and dust mass functions for the EAGLE cosmological simulation, based on synthetic multi-wavelength observations generated with the SKIRT ra…
Radiation hydrodynamics simulations of the evolution of the diffuse ionized gas in disc galaxies
Bert Vandenbroucke, Kenneth Wood
There is strong evidence that the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in disc galaxies is photoionized by radiation from UV luminous O and B stars in the galactic disc, both from observation…
Radiative transfer calculations of the diffuse ionised gas in disc galaxies with cosmic ray feedback
Bert Vandenbroucke, Kenneth Wood, Philipp Girichidis +2
The large vertical scale heights of the diffuse ionised gas (DIG) in disc galaxies are challenging to model, as hydrodynamical models including only thermal feedback seem to be una…
Constraining the subgrid physics in simulations of isolated dwarf galaxies
Bert Vandenbroucke, Robbert Verbeke, Sven De Rijcke
Simulating dwarf galaxy halos in a reionizing Universe puts severe constraints on the sub-grid model employed in the simulations. Using the same sub-grid model that works for simul…
How the first stars shaped the faintest gas-dominated dwarf galaxies
Robbert Verbeke, Bert Vandenbroucke, Sven De Rijcke
Low-mass dwarf galaxies are very sensitive test-beds for theories of cosmic structure formation since their weak gravitational fields allow the effects of the relevant physical pro…
Numerical simulations of dwarf galaxy merger trees
Annelies Cloet-Osselaer, Sven De Rijcke, Bert Vandenbroucke +3
We investigate the evolution of dwarf galaxies using N -body/SPH simulations that incorporate their formation histories through merger trees constructed using the ex- tended Press-…
Gaseous infall triggering starbursts in simulated dwarf galaxies
Robbert Verbeke, Sven De Rijcke, Mina Koleva +3
Using computer simulations, we explored gaseous infall as a possible explanation for the starburst phase in Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies. We simulate a cloud impact by merging a sph…
