Simulating disc galaxy bulges that are consistent with observed scaling relations
Abstract
Abstract We present a detailed comparison between the photometric properties of the bulges of two simulated galaxies and those of a uniform sample of observed galaxies. This analysis shows that the simulated galaxies have bulges with realistic surface brightnesses for their sizes and magnitude. These two field disc galaxies have rotational velocities ∼100 km s−1 and were integrated to a redshift of zero in a fully cosmological Λ cold dark …
