FORMING REALISTIC LATE-TYPE SPIRALS IN A ΛCDM UNIVERSE: THE ERIS SIMULATION
- J. Guedes, S. Callegari, P. Madau, L. Mayer
- Physics
- 30 March 2011
Simulations of the formation of late-type spiral galaxies in a cold dark matter ({Lambda}CDM) universe have traditionally failed to yield realistic candidates. Here we report a new cosmological… Expand
Bulgeless dwarf galaxies and dark matter cores from supernova-driven outflows
- F. Governato, C. Brook, +8 authors P. Madau
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 14 January 2010
For almost two decades the properties of ‘dwarf’ galaxies have challenged the cold dark matter (CDM) model of galaxy formation. Most observed dwarf galaxies consist of a rotating stellar disk… Expand
Fundamental differences between SPH and grid methods
We have carried out a comparison study of hydrodynamical codes by investigating their performance in modelling interacting multiphase fluids. The two commonly used techniques of grid and smoothed… Expand

Clumps in the outer disk by disk instability: Why they are initially gas giants and the legacy of disruption
- A. Boley, T. Hayfield, L. Mayer, R. Durisen
- Physics
- 24 September 2009
Abstract We explore the initial conditions for fragments in the extended regions ( r ≳ 50 AU ) of gravitationally unstable disks. We combine analytic estimates for the fragmentation of spiral arms… Expand
Forming disc galaxies in ΛCDM simulations
- F. Governato, F. Governato, +6 authors Thomas P. Quinn
- Physics
- 16 February 2006
We used fully cosmological, high-resolution N-body + smooth particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations to follow the formation of disc galaxies with rotational velocities between 135 and 270km s -1 in a… Expand
On the life and death of satellite haloes
- G. Taffoni, L. Mayer, Monica Colpi Fabio Governato
- Physics
- 14 January 2003
We study the evolution of dark matter satellites orbiting inside more massive haloes using semi-analytical tools coupled with high-resolution N-body simulations. We select initial satellite sizes,… Expand
THE CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM OF MASSIVE GALAXIES AT z ∼ 3: A TEST FOR STELLAR FEEDBACK, GALACTIC OUTFLOWS, AND COLD STREAMS
- S. Shen, P. Madau, J. Guedes, L. Mayer, J. Prochaska, J. Wadsley
- Physics
- 1 May 2012
We present new results on the kinematics, thermal and ionization state, and spatial distribution of metal-enriched gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of massive galaxies at redshift ~3, using the… Expand
The secular evolution of disk structural parameters
- V. Debattista, L. Mayer, +8 authors M. University
- Physics
- 12 September 2005
We present a comprehensive series of simulations to study the secular evolution of disk galaxies expected in a ΛCDM universe. Our simulations are organized in a hierarchy of increasing complexity,… Expand
The Metamorphosis of Tidally Stirred Dwarf Galaxies
- L. Mayer, F. Governato, +4 authors J. S. Lake
- Physics
- 27 March 2001
We present results from high-resolution N-body/SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamic) simulations of rotationally supported dwarf irregular galaxies moving on bound orbits in the massive dark matter… Expand
