On the impact of empirical and theoretical star formation laws on galaxy formation (2011)
Journal Article
Lagos, C., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., Bower, R., & Benson, A. (2011). On the impact of empirical and theoretical star formation laws on galaxy formation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 416(2), 1566-1584. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19160.x

We investigate the consequences of applying different star formation laws in the galaxy formation model GALFORM. Three broad star formation laws are implemented: the empirical relations of Kennicutt and Schmidt and Blitz & Rosolowsky and the theoreti...

Numerical overcooling in shocks (2011)
Journal Article
Creasey, P., Theuns, T., Bower, R., & Lacey, C. (2011). Numerical overcooling in shocks. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 415(4), 3706-3720. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19001.x

We present a study of cooling in radiative shocks simulated with smoothed particle hydrodynamics and adaptive mesh refinement codes. We obtain a similarity solution for a shock-tube problem in the presence of radiative cooling, and test how well the... Read More about Numerical overcooling in shocks.
