Code Comparison in Galaxy Scale Simulations with Resolved Supernova Feedback: Lagrangian vs. Eulerian Methods
Chia-Yu Hu, Matthew C. Smith, Romain Teyssier +8
We present a suite of high-resolution simulations of an isolated dwarf galaxy using four different hydrodynamical codes: {\sc Gizmo}, {\sc Arepo}, {\sc Gadget}, and {\sc Ramses}. A…
"Observations" of simulated dwarf galaxies: Star-formation histories from color-magnitude diagrams
Shivangee Rathi, Michele Mastropietro, Sven De Rijcke +3
Apparent deviations between properties of dwarf galaxies from observations and simulations are known to exist, such as the "Missing Dwarfs" problem, the too-big-to-fail problem, an…
EDGE: the mass-metallicity relation as a critical test of galaxy formation physics
Oscar Agertz, Andrew Pontzen, Justin I. Read +7
We introduce the "Engineering Dwarfs at Galaxy formation's Edge" (EDGE) project to study the cosmological formation and evolution of the smallest galaxies in the Universe. In this…
A new astrophysical solution to the Too Big To Fail problem - Insights from the MoRIA simulations
Robbert Verbeke, Emmanouil Papastergis, Anastasia A. Ponomareva +2
We test whether advanced galaxy models and analysis techniques of simulations can alleviate the Too Big To Fail problem (TBTF) for late-type galaxies, which states that isolated dw…
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…
The dynamics of general relativistic isotropic stellar cluster models -- Do relativistic extensions of the Plummer model exist?
Sven De Rijcke, Robbert Verbeke, Thomas Boelens
We show that the general relativistic theory of the dynamics of isotropic stellar clusters can be developed essentially along the same lines as the Newtonian theory. We prove that…
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…
