Semi-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 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 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 کاملSemi-analytical Galaxy Formation Models and the High Redshift Universe
Semi-analytical models of galaxy formation based on hierarchical clustering now make a wide range of predictions for observable properties of galaxies at low and high redshift. This article concentrates on 2 aspects: (1) Self-consistent modelling of dust absorption predicts a mean UV extinction AUV ∼ 1 mag, depending only weakly on redshift, and similar to observational estimates. (2) The model...
