We describe an SPH model for chemical enrichment and radiative cooling in cosmological simulations of structure formation. This includes: i) the delayed gas restitution from stars by means a probabilistic approach designed to reduce statistical noise and, hence, allow study inner objects with moderately high numbers particles; ii) full dependence metal production on detailed composition stellar particles using, first time codes, Qij matrix formalism that relates each nucleosynthetic product...

As traditionally cold areas become warmer due to climate change, temperature could no longer be a barrier the establishment of non-native insects. This is particularly relevant for pest insects from warm and tropical areas, mainly those with some tolerance moderately low temperatures, which expand their range into these new locations. From this perspective, in work we studied morphological biochemical responses Neotropical Paysandisia archon as part possible strategy colonize areas. To that...

We analyze and compare the bulges of a sample L* spiral galaxies in hydrodynamical simulations cosmological context, using two different codes, P-DEVA GASOLINE. The codes regulate star formation very ways, with inputing low efficiency under assumption that feedback occurs on subgrid scales, while GASOLINE have which drives large scale outflows. In all cases, marked knee-shape mass aggregation tracks, corresponding to transition from an early phase rapid assembly later slower one, separates...

In this work we present a detailed analysis of the global and fine structure four middle-mass disc galaxies obtained from hydrodynamic simulations in Λcold dark matter (ΛCDM) scenario. These objects have photometric disc-to-total ratios good agreement with those observed for late-type spirals, as well kinematic properties observational I-band Tully–Fisher relation. We identify different dynamical components at redshift zero on basis both orbital parameters binding energy stars galaxy. way,...

We analyze the qualitative behavior of scalar-tensor cosmologies with an arbitrary monotonic \ensuremath{\omega}(\ensuremath{\Phi}) function. In particular, we are interested in theories distinguishable at early epochs from general relativity (GR) but leading to predictions compatible solar-system experiments. After extending method developed by Lorentz-Petzold and Barrow, establish conditions required for convergence towards GR t\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}. Then, obtain all...

We present smoothed particle hydrodynamics cosmological simulations of the formation three disk galaxies with a detailed treatment chemical evolution and cooling. The resulting have properties compatible observations: relatively high disk-to-total ratios, thin stellar disks, good agreement Tully–Fisher luminosity–size relations. They break in luminosity profile at 3.0 ± 0.5 scale lengths while showing an exponential mass without any apparent breaks, which is line recent observational...

We introduce a new model for the spectral energy distribution of galaxies, GRASIL-3D, which includes careful modelling dust component interstellar medium. GRASIL-3D is an entirely based on formalism existing and widely applied spectrophotometric model, GRASIL, but specifically designed to be interfaced with galaxies any arbitrarily given geometry, such as calculated by theoretical hydrodynamical galaxy formation codes. separately treat radiative transfer in molecular clouds diffuse cirrus...

We present a detailed calculation of the light element production in framework scalar-tensor theories gravitation. The coupling function \ensuremath{\omega} is described by an appropriate form which reproduces all possible asymptotic behaviors at early times viable cosmological models with monotonic \ensuremath{\omega}(\ensuremath{\Phi}). This gives exact representation for most particular proposed literature, but also first-order approximation to many other theories. In theories, comparison...

In this paper, we analyse the conditions for convergence towards general relativity of scalar–tensor gravity theories defined by an arbitrary coupling function α (in Einstein frame). We show that, in general, evolution scalar field (φ) is governed two opposite mechanisms: attraction mechanism which tends to drive models Einstein's theory, and a repulsion has contrary effect. The dominates recent epochs universe if, only its derivative satisfy certain boundary conditions. Since these depend...

We address the 'plane of satellites problem' by studying planar configurations around two disc galaxies with no late major mergers, formed in zoom-in hydro-simulations. Due to current lack good quality kinematic data for M31 satellites, we use only positional information. So far, analyses simulations are unable find planes as thin and populated observed ones. Moreover, they miss systematicity detail plane-searching techniques, well study properties planes, both or real data. To fill this...
