The impact of galactic structure on star formation

该项目研究了星系结构在决定星系内部气体如何形成恒星的过程中所起的作用。对附近的三个螺旋星系进行了模拟，发现它们的演化非常相似，尽管它们的自转速度和恒星和暗物质的分布不同。但也发现了一些较小的差异，例如气体随着半径的消耗有多快，这将是一些(准备中)论文的主题。这些星系是更大的定制(已知例子更好的银河系外模拟物理)国际合作项目的第一个组成部分，该项目将探索更广泛的目标和物理学的广度。初始条件也将在不久的将来公开，供其他研究人员使用。不幸的是，首席研究人员搬到了海外的一个研究所，所以只进行了计划中的三个研究所中的第一年的工作，但他们将在搬迁后继续与日本和海外的研究人员合作进行这项工作。

This project investigated the role of galactic structure in determining how a galaxy can form stars from its gas within. Simulations were performed of three nearby spiral galaxies and were found to be remarkably similar in their evolution, despite their different rotational rates and distribution of stars and dark matter. Some smaller differences were found though, such as how rapidly gas is depleted with radius, which will be the subject of a number of in papers (in preparation). These galaxies are the first building blocks of the larger BESPOKE (Better Extragalactic Simulation Physics on Known Examples) international collaborative project, which will explore a wider range of targets and breadth of physics. The initial conditions will also be made publicly available in the near future for the use of other researchers. Unfortunately the principal investigator moved to an institute overseas so only the first year of work out of the planned three was conducted, but they will pick up this work upon relocation with continued collaboration with researchers in Japan and overseas.
