Modelling feedback from stars and black holes in galaxy mergers

Modelling feedback from stars and black holes in galaxy mergers

We describe techniques for incorporating feedback from star formation and black hole accretion into simulations of isolated and merging galaxies. At present, the details of these processes cannot be resolved in simulations on galactic scales. Our basic approach therefore involves forming coarse-grained representations of the properties of the interstellar medium …
