Stellar Snacks or: How to Grow a Massive Black Hole through TDEs
How do tidal disruption events contribute to massive black hole growth?
How do tidal disruption events contribute to massive black hole growth?
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.
Let’s grow a giant galaxy by z ~ 2!
How well a galaxy dances may be a matter of life or death.
Stellar feedback can drive a galactic fountain by pushing out gas that later falls back in.
Does our galaxy look like an Advil, a NyQuil, or just a simple sphere? The simulations studied in today’s paper may have the answer.
