  2. 6. Dissipative formation of galaxies in hierarchical cosmology

    Author : John Hultman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astronomy; merical methods; hydrodynamics; galaxies: formation; galaxies: elliptical; galaxies: structure; star formation; Astronomi; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik; Theoretical Astrophysics; teoretisk astrofysik;

    Abstract : A description and detailed tests of a numerical code for simulations of galaxy formation is presented. The dynamics is followed with fully adaptive and Lagrangian Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) combined with a gravitational tree method. The severe numerical problem of sub-resolution clustering is solved by merging of gas particles. READ MORE

  4. 7. The nature of stars with a common origin: clues from metallicity, elemental abundances, and kinematics

    Author : Cheng Liu; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stars: abundances; Galaxy: evolution; Galaxy: solar neighbourhood; Galaxy: bulge; Galaxy: globular clusters;

    Abstract : Most of field stars originate from dissolved star clusters. If the gas cloud is well mixed the stars in the cluster are expected to be chemically homogenous. READ MORE

  5. 8. Star Formation and feedback at key physical scales for galaxy evolution

    Author : Lorenza Della Bruna; Angela Adamo; Göran Östlin; Monica Relaño Pastor; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galaxies; Star Formation; Stellar Feedback; HII regions; ISM; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Abstract : Feedback from young, massive stars plays an essential role in the self-regulation of star formation in galaxies, and in shaping the galaxies' global properties. This phenomenon originates at small scales, surrounding the stars, but has been observed to be effective up to galactic-wide scales. READ MORE

  6. 9. The origin and chemical evolution of iron-peak and neutron-capture elements in the Milky Way disk

    Author : Chiara Battistini; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stars: abundances; Stars: solar-type; Galaxy: disk; Galaxy: evolution; Galaxy: solar neighbourhood;

    Abstract : All the elements heavier than Li are created during stellar evolution. Even if our knowledge of this process is good, many questions still remain. READ MORE

  7. 10. A Photometric Study of the Galactic Disks based on Strömgren Photometry

    Author : Anna Arnadottir; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; density parameters; formation.; metallicity distribution function; thin disk; metallicities. Galaxy - thick disk; colours; Photometry - Strömgren; luminosities; SDSS. Stars - classification;

    Abstract : One of the key questions in todays galaxy research is the formation and evolution of disk galaxies such as the Milky Way. Using observations in the intermediate band Stromgren uvby filter system we have investigated how both density and metallicity varies within the Galactic disks in order to learn more about the Galaxy and its past.
