Aims. We test whether or not realistic analysis techniques of advanced hydrodynamical
simulations can alleviate the Too Big To Fail problem (TBTF) for late-type galaxies. TBTF …

We present a detailed analysis of the formation, evolution and possible longevity of
metallicity gradients in simulated dwarf galaxies. Specifically, we investigate the role of …

Galactic dynamo models have generally relied on input parameters that are very
challenging to constrain. We address this problem by developing a model that uses …

Low-mass dwarf galaxies are very sensitive test-beds for theories of cosmic structure
formation since their weak gravitational fields allow the effects of the relevant physical …

Partially ionized plasmas are found in many different astrophysical environments. The study
of partially ionized plasmas is of great interest for solar physics because some layers of the …

Simulating dwarf galaxy haloes in a reionizing Universe puts severe constraints on the
subgrid model employed in the simulations. Using the same subgrid model that works for …

Context. Numerical models of the evolution of interstellar and integalactic plasmas often
assume that the adiabatic parameter γ (the ratio of the specific heats) is constant (5/3 in …

According to the ΛCDM model of cosmology, the Universe was formed during the Big Bang,
13. 8 Gyr ago (Spergel et al., 2007). The conditions in the very early Universe were very …
