Chemical enrichment in cosmological, smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations
Chemical enrichment in cosmological, smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations
(Abridged) We present an implementation of stellar evolution and chemical feedback for smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations. We consider the timed release of individual elements by both massive (Type II supernovae and stellar winds) and intermediate mass stars (Type Ia supernovae and asymptotic giant branch stars). We illustrate the results …
