Predictability 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 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...
متن کاملSemi-analytic Galaxy Formation: Understanding the High Redshift Universe
There is now compelling evidence in favour of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. Semi-analytic modelling is a powerful tool which allows the formation and evolution of galaxies to be followed in a hierarchical framework. We review some of the latest developments in this area before discussing how such models can help us to interpret observations of the high redshift Universe. Hierar...
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 کاملObserving Massive Galaxy Formation
A major goal of contemporary astrophysics is understanding the origin of the most massive galaxies in the universe, particularly nearby ellipticals and spirals. Theoretical models of galaxy formation have existed for many decades, although low and high redshift observations are only beginning to put constraints on different ideas. We briefly describe these observations and how they are revealin...
