High resolution SPH simulations of disk formation in CDM halos; Resolution tests
Abstract
We perform N-Body/SPH simulations of disk galaxy formation inside equilibrium spherical and triaxial cuspy dark matter halos. We systematically study the disk properties and morphology as we increase the numbers of dark matter and gas particles from 104 to 106 and change the force resolution. The force resolution influences the morphological evolution of the disk quite dramatically. Unless the baryon fraction is significantly lower than the …
