Star formation and feedback in smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations – I. Isolated galaxies
Open accessAbstract
We present an analysis of star formation and feedback recipes appropriate for galactic smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations. Using an isolated Milky Way-like galaxy, we constrain these recipes based on well-established observational results. Our star formation recipe is based on that of Katz with the additional inclusion of physically motivated supernova feedback recipes. We propose a new feedback recipe in which Type II supernovae are modelled using an analytical treatment of blastwaves. With this feedback mechanism and a tuning of other star formation parameters, the star formation in our isolated Milky Way-like galaxy follows the slope and normalization of the observed Schmidt law. In addition, we reproduce the low-density cut-off and filamentary structure of star formation observed in disc galaxies. Our final recipe will enable better comparison of N-body simulations with observations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
