Shaken, Not Stirred: Subgrid Metal Diffusion in Galaxy Simulations

Shaken, Not Stirred: Subgrid Metal Diffusion in Galaxy Simulations

by Michael Foley | May 6, 2020 | Daily Paper Summaries

A lot of physics happens below the resolution limit of galaxy simulations that must be represented with “subgrid” models. Today’s paper shows the importance of including a subgrid model for the mixing of metals in galaxy simulations.

Spot the Difference! Disentangling High-z Galaxies

by Lukas Zalesky | May 2, 2020 | Daily Paper Summaries

The early universe is a period of intense star formation across nearly all galaxies. Is it possible tell these galaxies apart from each other, when the universe was less than a few billion years old?

The Times They Are A-Changin’ (But the Stellar Mass Function of Massive Galaxies is Not!)

by Lukas Zalesky | Mar 5, 2020 | Daily Paper Summaries

Massive galaxies arise by the time the universe is less than half its current age. Wait four billion more years, and by how much do these galaxies grow? The answer may surprise you.
