Galactic star formation in parsec-scale resolution simulations by Powell, L, Bournaud, F, Chapon, D, Devriendt, J, Slyz, A, Teyssier, R

“…We investigate how star formation (SF) proceeds in simulated galaxies when we obtain parsec-scale resolution and more successfully capture the multiphase ISM. …”

How Does Feedback Affect Milky Way Satellite Formation? by Geen, S, Slyz, A, Devriendt, J

“…We use sub-parsec resolution hydrodynamic resimulations of a Milky Way (MW) like galaxy at high redshift to investigate the formation of the MW satellite galaxies. …”

Zooming in on supermassive black holes: how resolving their gas cloud host renders their accretion episodic by Beckmann, R, Devriendt, J, Slyz, A

“…For a pristine gas mix of hydrogen and helium, a slim disc develops around the BH on sub-parsec scales, turning the otherwise chaotic BH accretion duty cycle into an episodic one, with potentially important consequences for BH feedback. …”

Towards simulating star formation in the interstellar medium by Slyz, A, Devriendt, J, Bryan, G, Silk, J

“…As a first step to a more complete understanding of the local physical processes which determine star formation rates (SFRs) in the interstellar medium (ISM), we have performed controlled numerical experiments consisting of hydrodynamical simulations of a kilo-parsec scale, periodic, highly supersonic and "turbulent" three-dimensional flow. …”

Satellite survival in highly resolved Milky Way class haloes by Geen, S, Slyz, A, Devriendt, J

“…Our set of cosmological hydrodynamic Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) simulations, called the NUT suite, allows us to investigate the effect of supernova feedback and UV photoionisation at high redshift with sub-parsec resolution. We subsequently follow the effect of interactions with the Milky Way-like halo using a lower spatial resolution (50pc) version of the simulation down to <i>z</i>=0. …”

Emergence and cosmic evolution of the Kennicutt–Schmidt relation driven by interstellar turbulence by Kraljic, K, Renaud, F, Dubois, Y, Pichon, C, Agertz, O, Andersson, E, Devriendt, J, Freundlich, J, Kaviraj, S, Kimm, T, Martin, G, Peirani, S, Otero, ÁS, Volonteri, M, Yi, SK

“…With decreasing redshift, the number of outliers with short depletion times diminishes, reducing the scatter of the KS relation, while the overall population of galaxies shifts toward low densities. Our results, from parsec-scale star formation models calibrated with local Universe physics, demonstrate that the cosmological evolution of the environmental (e.g., mergers) and internal conditions (e.g., gas fractions) conspire to shape the KS relation. …”
