Damped Lyman alpha systems in galaxy formation simulations
We investigate the population of z = 3 damped Lyman α systems (DLAs) in a recent series of high-resolution galaxy formation simulations. The simulations are of interest because they form at z = 0 some of the most realistic disc galaxies to date. No free parameters are available in our study: the sim...
