Study of Galaxy Cluster Properties from High-resolution Sph Simulations
We present some of the results of an ongoing collaboration to sudy the dynamical properties of galaxy clusters by means of high resolution adiabatic SPH cosmological simulations. Results from our numerical clusters have been tested against analytical models often used in X-ray observations: β model (isothermal and polytropic) and those based on universal dark matter profiles. We find a universa...
متن کاملHigh-resolution simulations of galaxy mergers: Resolving globular cluster formation
Massive star clusters observed in galaxy mergers are often suggested to be progenitors of globular clusters. To study this hypothesis, we performed the highest resolution simulation of a gas-rich galaxy merger so far. The formation of massive star clusters of 10 to 10 M⊙, triggered by the galaxy interaction, is directly resolved in this model. We show that these clusters are tightly bound struc...
متن کاملTurbulent gas motions in galaxy cluster simulations: The role of SPH viscosity
Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) employs an artificial viscosity to properly capture hydrodynamical shock waves. In its original formulation, the resulting numerical viscosity is large enough to suppress structure in the velocity field on scales well above the nominal resolution limit, and to damp the generation of turbulence by fluid instabilities. This could artificially suppress random ...
متن کاملSPH simulations of magnetic elds in galaxy clusters
We perform cosmological, hydrodynamic simulations of magnetic elds in galaxy clusters. The computational code combines the special-purpose hardware Grape for calculating gravitational interaction, and smooth-particle hydrodynamics for the gas component. We employ the usual MHD equations for the evolution of the magnetic eld in an ideally conducting plasma. As a rst application, we focus on the ...
