The effect of models of the interstellar media on the central mass distribution of galaxies
Charlotte Christensen, Fabio Governato, Thomas Quinn +5
We compare the central mass distribution of galaxies simulated with three different models of the interstellar medium (ISM) with increasing complexity: primordial (H+He) cooling do…
Reproducing the Stellar Mass/Halo Mass Relation in Simulated LCDM Galaxies: Theory vs Observational Estimates
Ferah Munshi, F. Governato, A. M. Brooks +6
We examine the present-day total stellar-to-halo mass (SHM) ratio as a function of halo mass for a new sample of simulated field galaxies using fully cosmological, LCDM, high resol…
Baryons Matter: Why Luminous Satellite Galaxies Have Reduced Central Masses
Adi Zolotov, Alyson M. Brooks, Beth Willman +7
Using high resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-massed disk galaxies, we demonstrate that supernovae feedback and tidal stripping lower the central masse…
Implementing Molecular Hydrogen in Hydrodynamic Simulations of Galaxy Formation
Charlotte Christensen, Thomas Quinn, Fabio Governato +3
Motivated by the observed connection between molecular hydrogen (H2) and star formation, we present a method for tracking the non-equilibrium abundance and cooling processes of H2…
The circumgalactic medium of massive galaxies at z~3: a test for stellar feedback, galactic outflows, and cold streams
Sijing Shen, Piero Madau, Javiera Guedes +3
We present new results on the kinematics, thermal and ionization state, and spatial distribution of metal-enriched gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of massive galaxies at red…
Cuspy No More: How Outflows Affect the Central Dark Matter and Baryon Distribution in Lambda CDM Galaxies
F. Governato, A. Zolotov, A. Pontzen +6
We examine the evolution of the inner dark matter (DM) and baryonic density profile of a new sample of simulated field galaxies using fully cosmological, Lambda CDM, high resolutio…
