Quantifying the effects of spatial resolution and noise on galaxy metallicity gradients
Ayan Acharyya, Mark R. Krumholz, Christoph Federrath +3
Metallicity gradients are important diagnostics of galaxy evolution, because they record the history of events such as mergers, gas inflow and star-formation. However, the accuracy…
The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. II: Isolated Disk Test
Ji-hoon Kim, Oscar Agertz, Romain Teyssier +40
Using an isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy simulation, we compare results from 9 state-of-the-art gravito-hydrodynamics codes widely used in the numerical community. We utilize the in…
Mass Transport and Turbulence in Gravitationally Unstable Disk Galaxies II: The Effects of Star Formation Feedback
Nathan J. Goldbaum, Mark R. Krumholz, John C. Forbes
Self-gravity and stellar feedback are capable of driving turbulence and transporting mass and angular momentum in disk galaxies, but the balance between them is not well understood…
Suppression of star formation in dwarf galaxies by grain photoelectric feedback
John C. Forbes, Mark R. Krumholz, Nathan J. Goldbaum +1
Photoelectric heating has long been recognized as the primary source of heating for the neutral interstellar medium. Simulations of spiral galaxies found some indication that photo…
Mass Transport and Turbulence in Gravitationally Unstable Disk Galaxies. I: The Case of Pure Self-Gravity
Nathan J. Goldbaum, Mark R. Krumholz, John C. Forbes
The role of gravitational instability-driven turbulence in determining the structure and evolution of disk galaxies, and the extent to which gravity rather than feedback can explai…
Mixing and transport of metals by gravitational instability-driven turbulence in galactic discs
Antoine C. Petit, Mark R. Krumholz, Nathan J. Goldbaum +1
Metal production in galaxies traces star formation, and is highly concentrated toward the centers of galactic discs. This suggests that galaxies should have inhomogeneous metal dis…
