Implementing Feedback in Simulations of Galaxy Formation: A Survey of Methods
Abstract
We present a detailed description, and examine the performance of, a number of different approaches to modeling feedback in simulations of galaxy formation. Gasdynamic forces are evaluated using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Star formation and supernova feedback are included using a three-parameter model which determines the star formation rate (SFR) normalization, feedback energy, and lifetime of feedback regions. The star formation …
