چکیده

We present results from a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) simulation of galaxy formation that exceeds the minimum resolution requirement suggested by Steinmetz & Muller (1993) of 3 × 10 SPH particles per galaxy. Using the multiple mass technique an effective resolution of a little over one billion particles is attained within a 48 Mpc cube. We find that even with an SPH mass resolution of 1.5 × 10 M⊙ and a plausible feedback algorithm, the cooling catastrophe continues to be a problem for Einstein-de Sitter CDM cosmologies. Increasing resolution also appears to exacerbate the core-halo angular momentum transport problem.

اندازه‌گیری نمایه عمق نوری خوشه‌های کهکشانی با استفاده از اثرسونیائف زلدوویچ جنبشی

baryonic matter distribution in the large-scale structures is one of the main questions in cosmology. This distribution can provide valuable information regarding  the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. On the other hand, the missing baryon problem is still under debate. One of the most important cosmological structures for studying the rate and  the distribution of the baryons is gal...

AGN Jet - induced Feedback in Galaxies . II . Galaxy colours from a multicloud simulation

We study the feedback from an AGN on stellar formation within its host galaxy, mainly using one high resolution numerical simulation of the jet propagation within the interstellar medium of an early-type galaxy. In particular, we show that in a realistic simulation where the jet propagates into a two-phase ISM, star formation can initially be slightly enhanced and then, on timescales of few mil...

Control of Star Formation in Galaxies by Gravitational Instability

We present high resolution simulations of star formation in a wide range of disk galaxies, using a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics code with an isothermal equation of state and no explicit feedback. Absorbing sink particles are inserted in high density regions to directly measure the mass of gravitationally collapsing gas. Despite the simplicity of our assumptions, our models ...

We used fully cosmological, high resolution N-body+SPH simulations to follow the formation of disk galaxies with a rotational velocity between 140 and 280 Km/sec in a ΛCDM universe. The simulations include gas cooling, star formation (SF), the effects of a uniform UV background and a physically motivated description of feedback from supernovae (SN). Feedback parameters have been chosen to match...

Formation of an Early-type Galaxy from Cosmological Initial Conditions?

We describe a high resolution Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation of a spheroidal galaxy starting from ΛCDM initial conditions which is intentionally simple, and includes photoionization and cooling of the intergalactic medium but not feedback from AGN or supernovae. The galaxy undergoes an initial burst of star formation at z ≈ 5, accompanied by the formation of a bubble of heated...
