A lower fragmentation mass scale in high redshift galaxies and its implications on giant clumps: a systematic numerical study
Valentina Tamburello, Lucio Mayer, Sijing Shen +1
We study the effect of sub-grid physics, galaxy mass, structural parameters and resolution on the fragmentation of gas-rich galaxy discs into massive star forming clumps. The initi…
Direct formation of supermassive black holes in metal-enriched gas at the heart of high-redshift galaxy mergers
Lucio Mayer, Davide Fiacconi, Silvia Bonoli +4
We present novel 3D multi-scale SPH simulations of gas-rich galaxy mergers between the most massive galaxies at , designed to scrutinize the direct collapse formatio…
The Role of Cold Flows and Reservoirs in Galaxy Formation With Strong Feedback
Rory Woods, James Wadsley, Hugh M. P. Couchman +2
We examine gas accretion and subsequent star formation in representative galaxies from the McMaster Unbiased Galaxy Simulations (Stinson et al. 2010). Accreted gas is bimodal with…
The History of R-Process Enrichment in the Milky Way
Sijing Shen, Ryan Cooke, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +3
We investigate the production sites and the enrichment history of -process elements in the Galaxy, as traced by the [Eu/Fe] ratio, using the high resolution, cosmological zoom-i…
Faint dwarfs as a test of DM models: WDM vs. CDM
Fabio Governato, Daniel Weisz, Andrew Pontzen +12
We use high resolution HydroN-Body cosmological simulations to compare the assembly and evolution of a small field dwarf (stellar mass ~ 10 M, total mass 10$^{10}…
Dark Matter Heating and Early Core Formation in Dwarf Galaxies
Piero Madau, Sijing Shen, Fabio Governato
We present more results from a fully cosmological LCDM simulation of a group of isolated dwarf galaxies that has been shown to reproduce the observed stellar mass and cold gas cont…
Simulating disc galaxy bulges that are consistent with observed scaling relations
C. R. Christensen, A. M. Brooks, D. B. Fisher +5
We present a detailed comparison between the photometric properties of the bulges of two simulated galaxies and those of a uniform sample of observed galaxies. This analysis shows…
