A comparison of semi-analytic and smoothed particle hydrodynamics galaxy formation
A comparison of semi-analytic and smoothed particle hydrodynamics galaxy formation
We compare the statistical properties of galaxies found in two different models of hierarchical galaxy formation: the semi-analytic model of Cole et al. and the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of Pearce et al. These two techniques model gas processes very differently: by approximate, analytic methods in the case of …
