The anatomy of a star-forming galaxy II: FUV heating via dust
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation greatly exceeds UV, supernovae (SNe), and winds in the energy budget of young star clusters but is poorly modelled in galaxy simulations. We present results of the first isolated galaxy disc simulations to include photoelectric heating of gas via dust grains from FUV radiation self-consistently, using a ray-tracing approach that calculates optical depths along the source–receiver …
