Simulations of galaxy formation in a cosmological volume
We present results of large N−body-hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation. Our simulations follow the formation of galaxies in cubic volumes of side 100Mpc, in two versions of the cold dark matter (CDM) cosmogony: the standard, Ω = 1 SCDM model and the flat, Ω = 0.3 ΛCDM model. Over 2000 galaxies form in each of these simulations. We examine the rate at which gas cools and condenses into ...
متن کاملTime Evolution of Galaxy Formation and Bias in Cosmological Simulations
The clustering of galaxies relative to the underlying mass distribution declines with cosmic time for three reasons. First, nonlinear peaks become less rare events as the density field evolves. Second, the densest regions stop forming new galaxies because their gas becomes too hot to cool and collapse. Third, after galaxies form, they are subject to the same gravitational forces as the dark mat...
متن کاملParameter Tests Within Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Formation
Numerical simulations of galaxy formation require a number of parameters. Some of these are intrinsic to the numerical integration scheme (e.g. the timestep), while others describe the physical model (e.g. the gas metallicity). In this paper, we present results of a systematic exploration of the effects of varying a subset of these parameters on simulations of galaxy formation. We use N–body an...
متن کاملIntergalactic dust extinction in hydrodynamic cosmological simulations
Recently Ménard et al. (hereafter MSFR) detected a subtle but systematic change in the mean color of quasars as a function of their projected separation from foreground galaxies, extending to comoving separations of ∼ 10h−1Mpc, which they interpret as a signature of reddening by intergalactic dust. We present theoretical models of this remarkable observation, using smoothed particle hydrodynami...
متن کاملGalaxy tracers in cosmological N-body simulations
Galaxies, and the large-scale structure that they trace, grew via gravitational instability from small amplitude Gaussian density fluctuations. This nonlinear process can be studied by means of N -body simulations. The main target of this approach is to evaluate various cosmological theories of structure formation. Unfortunately, the dynamical range of current cosmological simulations is inadeq...
