Forming stars on a viscous timescale: the key to exponential stellar profiles in disk galaxies?

We argue for implementing star formation on a viscous timescale in hydrodynamical simulations of disk galaxy formation and evolution. Modelling two-dimensional isolated disk galaxies with the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) hydrocode, we verify the analytic claim of various authors that if the character...
