Numerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest existing computing systems and exploit state-of-the-art numerical method...

Abundance and group coalescence time-scales of compact groups of galaxies in the EAGLE simulation (2019)
Journal Article
Hartsuiker, L., & Ploeckinger, S. (2020). Abundance and group coalescence time-scales of compact groups of galaxies in the EAGLE simulation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 491(1), L66-L71. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slz171

Observations of compact groups of galaxies (CGs) indicate that their abundance has not significantly changed since z = 0.2. This balance between the time-scales for formation and destruction of CGs is challenging if the typical time-scale for CG memb...

Does radiative feedback make faint z > 6 galaxies look small? (2019)
Journal Article
Ploeckinger, S., Schaye, J., Hacar, A., Maseda, M. V., Hodge, J. A., & Bouwens, R. J. (2019). Does radiative feedback make faint z > 6 galaxies look small?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 484(3), 4379-4392. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz173

Recent observations of lensed sources have shown that the faintest (⁠MUV≈−15mag⁠) galaxies observed at z = 6−8 appear to be extremely compact. Some of them have inferred sizes of less than 40 pc for stellar masses between 106 and 107M⊙⁠, comparable t... Read More about Does radiative feedback make faint z > 6 galaxies look small?.
