Numerical Galaxy Catalog -i. a Semi-analytic Model of Galaxy Formation with N -body Simulations
We construct the Numerical Galaxy Catalog (νGC), based on a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation combined with high-resolution N -body simulations in a Λ-dominated flat cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model. The model includes several essential ingredients for galaxy formation, such as merging histories of dark halos directly taken from N -body simulations, radiative gas cooling, star f...
متن کاملGalaxy modelling II . Multi - wavelength faint counts from a semi - analytic model of galaxy formation
This paper predicts self-consistent faint galaxy counts from the UV to the submm wavelength range. The stardust spectral energy distributions described in Devriendt et al. (1999) (Paper I) are embedded within the explicit cosmological framework of a simple semi-analytic model of galaxy formation and evolution. We begin with a description of the non-dissipative and dissipative collapses of primo...
متن کاملPredictability in Semi-Analytic Models of Galaxy Formation
We propose a general framework to scrutinize the performance of semi-analytic codes of galaxy formation. The approach is based on the analysis of the outputs from the model after a series of perturbations in the input parameters controlling the baryonic physics. The perturbations are chosen in a way that they do not change the results in the luminosity function or mass function of the galaxy po...
متن کاملDisc instabilities and semi-analytic modelling of galaxy formation
The Efstathiou, Lake and Negroponte (1982) criterion can not distinguish bar stable from bar unstable discs and thus should not be used in semi-analytic galaxy formation simulations. I discuss the reasons for this, illustrate it with examples and point out shortcomings in the recipes used for spheroid formation. I propose an alternative, although much less straightforward, possibility.
متن کاملModelling Element Abundances in Semi-analytic Models of Galaxy Formation
We update the treatment of chemical evolution in the Munich semi-analytic model, LGalaxies. Our new implementation includes delayed enrichment from stellar winds, supernovæ type II (SNe-II) and supernovæ type Ia (SNe-Ia), as well as metallicitydependent yields and a reformulation of the associated supernova feedback. Two different sets of SN-II yields and three different SN-Ia delay-time distri...
