The optical and near-infrared properties of galaxies. I. Luminosity and stellar mass functions
- E. Bell, D. McIntosh, N. Katz, M. Weinberg
- Physics
- 26 February 2003
We use a large sample of galaxies from the Two Micron All Sky Survey(2MASS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to calculate galaxy luminosity and stellar mass functions in the local Universe. We…
How do galaxies get their gas
- D. Keres̆, N. Katz, D. Weinberg, R. Davé
- Physics
- 5 July 2004
Not the way one might have thought. In hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation, some gas follows the traditionally envisioned route, shock heating to the halo virial temperature before cooling…
TREESPH: A Unification of SPH with the Hierarchical Tree Method
- L. Hernquist, N. Katz
- Physics
- 1 June 1989
A new, general-purpose code for evolving three-dimensional, self-gravitating fluids in astrophyics, both with and without collisionless matter, is described. In this TREESPH code, hydrodynamic…
The Large, Oxygen-Rich Halos of Star-Forming Galaxies Are a Major Reservoir of Galactic Metals

TLDR
Baryons in the warm-hot intergalactic medium
Approximately 30%-40% of all baryons in the present-day universe reside in a warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM), with temperatures in the range 105 < T < 107 K. This is a generic prediction from…
Galaxies in a simulated ΛCDM Universe – I. Cold mode and hot cores
- D. Kerevs, N. Katz, Ohio-State
- Physics
- 8 September 2008
We study the formation of galaxies in a large volume (50 h −1 Mpc, 2 × 288 3 particles) cosmological simulation, evolved using the entropy and energy-conserving smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)…
Star formation and feedback in smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations – I. Isolated galaxies
- G. Stinson, A. Seth, N. Katz, J. Wadsley, F. Governato, T. Quinn
- Physics
- 16 February 2006
We present an analysis of star formation and feedback recipes appropriate for galactic smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations. Using an isolated Milky Way-like galaxy, we constrain these recipes…
The COS-Halos Survey: Physical Conditions and Baryonic Mass in the Low-redshift Circumgalactic Medium
- J. Werk, J. Prochaska, D. Weinberg
- Physics
- 4 March 2014
We analyze the physical conditions of the cool, photoionized (T ∼ 10 4 K) circumgalactic medium (CGM) using the COS-Halos suite of gas column density measurements for 44 gaseous halos within 160 kpc…
Cosmological Simulations with TreeSPH
- N. Katz, D. Weinberg, L. Hernquist
- Physics
- 21 September 1995
We describe numerical methods for incorporating gas dynamics into cosmological simulations and present illustrative applications to the cold dark matter (CDM) scenario. Our evolution code, a version…
Dissipational galaxy formation. II - Effects of star formation
- N. Katz
- Physics
- 1 June 1992
Numerical simulations of hierarchical galaxy formation, including gasdynamics, star formation, and supernova feedback, are presented. The simulations model the collapse of isolated constant-density…
