The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX - Part 2: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on the Stellar Morphology of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor
Thinh Huu Nguyen, Kirk S. S. Barrow, Minyong Jung +23
Galaxy mergers, with their high sensitivity to initial conditions, provide a valuable setting for comparative studies of galaxy simulation codes. Following our first paper focusing…
The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX - Part 1: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on Star Formation of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor
Thinh Huu Nguyen, Kirk S. S. Barrow, Minyong Jung +23
Given their highly nonlinear dynamics and sensitivity to initial conditions, galaxy mergers are a compelling area to conduct a simulation code comparison. We perform a comparative…
The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. XI: Solving the Non-Spherical Morphology and Evolution of Dark Matter Halos with Haskap Pie
Kirk S. S. Barrow, Thinh Huu Nguyen, Santi Roca-FÃ brega +26
We introduce a halo solving and tracking procedure that intrinsically treats dark matter halos as non-spherical objects by leveraging the bound particle searching techniques used i…
The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. X: Formation and Evolution of Galaxies at the High-redshift Frontier
Hyeonyong Kim, Ji-hoon Kim, Minyong Jung +22
Recent observations from JWST have revealed unexpectedly luminous galaxies, exhibiting stellar masses and luminosities significantly higher than predicted by theoretical models at…
Forged by Feedback: Stellar Properties of Brightest Group Galaxies in Cosmological Simulations
Ruxin Barré, Arif Babul, Ghassem Gozaliasl +7
We investigate how different galaxy formation models impact the stellar properties of brightest group galaxies (BGGs) in four cosmological simulations: ROMULUS, SIMBA, SIMBA-C, and…
The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. VIII: Disk Formation and Evolution of Simulated Milky Way Mass Galaxy Progenitors at
Minyong Jung, Ji-hoon Kim, Thinh H. Nguyen +24
We investigate how differences in the stellar feedback produce disks with different morphologies in Milky Way-like progenitors over 1 , using eight state-of-the-art…
