Atomic gas in galaxies: a critical test for state-of-the-art cosmological simulations of galaxy formation Ghent University
Numerical cosmological hydrodynamical simulations are nowadays a major tool for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. These simulations contain a number of so-called sub-grid prescriptions, which are calibrated through a comparison of the simulated galaxy population to the galaxy population observed in the nearby Universe. In order to directly test the galaxy formation model, it is necessary to make a comparison based on ...
