The formation, evolution and disruption of star clusters with improved gravitational dynamics in simulated dwarf galaxies

Natalia Lahén, Antti Rantala, Thorsten Naab +3

So far, even the highest resolution galaxy formation simulations with gravitational softening have failed to reproduce realistic life cycles of star clusters. We present the first…

The masses, structure and lifetimes of cold clouds in a high-resolution simulation of a low metallicity starburst

Constantina M. Fotopoulou, Thorsten Naab, Natalia Lahén +6

We present an analysis of the cold gas phase in a low metallicity starburst generated in a high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of a gas-rich dwarf galaxy merger as part of th…

FROST-CLUSTERS -- I. Hierarchical star cluster assembly boosts intermediate-mass black hole formation

Antti Rantala, Thorsten Naab, Natalia Lahén

Observations and high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations indicate that massive star clusters assemble hierarchically from sub-clusters with a universal power-law cluster mass fu…

A panchromatic view of star cluster formation in a simulated dwarf galaxy starburst

Natalia Lahén, Thorsten Naab, Guinevere Kauffmann

We present a photometric analysis of star and star cluster (SC) formation in a high-resolution simulation of a dwarf galaxy starburst that allows the formation of individual stars…

The challenge of simulating the star cluster population of dwarf galaxies with resolved interstellar medium

Jessica M. Hislop, Thorsten Naab, Ulrich P. Steinwandel +4

We present results on the star cluster properties from a series of high resolution smoothed particles hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of isolated dwarf galaxies as part of the GRIF…

Comparison of stellar populations in simulated and real post-starburst galaxies in MaNGA

Yirui Zheng, Vivienne Wild, Natalia Lahén +4

Recent integral field spectroscopic (IFS) surveys have revealed radial gradients in the optical spectral indices of post-starburst galaxies, which can be used to constrain their fo…

The origins of post-starburst galaxies at z<0.05

Milena M. Pawlik, Layth Taj Aldeen, Vivienne Wild +8

Post-starburst galaxies can be identified via the presence of prominent Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines in their spectra. We present a comprehensive study of the origin of strong…

The fate of the Antennae galaxies

Natalia Lahén, Peter H. Johansson, Antti Rantala +2

We present a high-resolution smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation of the Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) and follow the evolution Gyrs beyond the final coalescence. The…
