THE FORMATION OF MILKY WAY–MASS DISK GALAXIES IN THE FIRST 500 MILLION YEARS OF A COLD DARK MATTER UNIVERSE
Whether among the myriad tiny proto-galaxies there exists a population with similarities to present day galaxies is an open question. We show, using BlueTides, the first hydrodynamic simulation large enough to resolve the relevant scales, that the first massive galaxies to form are %in fact predicted to have extensive rotationally-supported …
