THE PRESSURE OF THE STAR-FORMING INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM IN COSMOLOGICAL SIMULATIONS
Abstract
We examine the pressure of the star-forming interstellar medium (ISM) of Milky-Way-sized disk galaxies using fully cosmological SPH+N-body, high-resolution simulations. These simulations include explicit treatment of metal-line cooling in addition to dust and self-shielding, H2-based star formation. The four simulated halos have masses ranging from a few times 1010 to nearly 1012 solar masses. Using a kinematic decomposition of these galaxies …
