Towards simulating star formation in turbulent high-z galaxies with mechanical supernova feedback

<p>To better understand the impact of supernova (SN) explosions on the evolution of galaxies, we perform a suite of high-resolution (12 pc), zoom-in cosmological simulations of a Milky Way-like galaxy at <i>z</i> = 3 with adaptive mesh refinement. We find that SN explosions can ef...
