Riding the Spiral Waves: Implications of Stellar Migration for the Properties of Galactic Disks
Rok Roškar, Victor P. Debattista, Thomas R. Quinn +2
Stars in disks of spiral galaxies are usually assumed to remain roughly at their birth radii. This assumption is built into decades of modelling of the evolution of stellar populat…
Clues to Radial Migration from the Properties of Outer Disks
Rok Roškar, Victor P. Debattista, Thomas R. Quinn +3
The outer disks of galaxies present a unique laboratory for studying the process of disk formation. A considerable fraction of observed disks exhibit a break in their surface brigh…
In situ formation of the massive stars around SgrA*
M. Mapelli, T. Hayfield, L. Mayer +1
The formation of the massive young stars surrounding SgrA* is still an open question. In this paper, we simulate the infall of an isothermal, turbulent molecular cloud towards the…
Damped Lyman Alpha Systems in Galaxy Formation Simulations
Andrew Pontzen, Fabio Governato, Max Pettini +6
We investigate the population of z=3 damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLAs) in a recent series of high resolution galaxy formation simulations. The simulations are of interest because…
High resolution SPH simulations of disk formation in CDM halos; resolution tests
Tobias Kaufmann, Lucio Mayer, Ben Moore +2
We perform N-Body/SPH simulations of disk galaxy formation inside equilibrium spherical and triaxial cuspy dark matter halos. We systematically study the disk properties and morpho…
Sweeping and shaking dwarf satellites
Lucio Mayer, James Wadsley
We present the first high-resolution N-Body/SPH simulations that follow the evolution of low surface brightness disk satellites in a primary halo containing both dark matter and a…
