Modeling Molecular Hydrogen and Star Formation in Cosmological Simulations
We describe a phenomenological model for molecular hydrogen formation suited for applications in galaxy formation simulations, which includes non-equilibrium formation of H2 on dust and approximate treatment of both its self-shielding and shielding by dust from the dissociating UV radiation. The model is applicable in simulations in which individual star forming regions – the giant molecular co...
متن کاملStar Formation History of Dwarf Galaxies in Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations
We examine the past and current work on the star formation (SF) histories of dwarf galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The results obtained from different numerical methods are still somewhat mixed, but the differences are understandable if we consider the numerical and resolution effects. It remains a challenge to simulate the episodic nature of SF history in dwarf galaxies at l...
متن کاملEffects of cosmological parameters and star formation models on the cosmic star formation history in ΛCDM cosmological simulations
We investigate the effects of cosmological parameters and star formation (SF) models on the cosmic SF history using cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations based on the cold dark matter (CDM) model. We vary the cosmological parameters within 1-σ error from the WMAP5 best-fit parameters, and find that such changes in cosmological parameters mostly affect the amplitude of t...
متن کاملMolecular Hydrogen and Global Star Formation Relations in Galaxies
We use hydrodynamical simulations of disk galaxies to study relations between star formation and properties of the molecular interstellar medium (ISM). We implement a model for the ISM that includes low-temperature (T < 104 K) cooling, directly ties the star formation rate to the molecular gas density, and accounts for the destruction of H2 by an interstellar radiation field from young stars. W...
متن کاملIncluding star formation and supernova feedback within cosmological simulations of galaxy formation
We investigate phenomenological models of star formation and supernova feedback in N -body/SPH simulations of galaxy formation. First, we compare different prescriptions in the literature for turning cold gas into stars neglecting feedback effects. We find that most prescriptions give broadly similar results: the ratio of cold gas to stars in the final galaxies is primarily controlled by the ra...
