Journal Article
Dobbs, C. L., Adamo, A., Few, C. G., Calzetti, D., Dale, D. A., Elmegreen, B. G., Evans, A. S., Gouliermis, D. A., Grasha, K., Grebel, E. K., Johnson, K. E., Kim, H., Lee, J. C., Messa, M., Ryon, J. E., Smith, L. J., Thilker, D., Ubeda, L., & Whitmore, B. (2017). The properties, origin and evolution of stellar clusters in galaxy simulations and observations. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 464(3), 3580-3596. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2200

We investigate the properties and evolution of star particles in two simulations of isolated spiral galaxies, and two galaxies from cosmological simulations. Unlike previous numerical work, where typically each star particle represents one ‘cluster’,...

Testing hydrodynamics schemes in galaxy disc simulations (2016)
Journal Article
Few, C. G., Dobbs, C., Pettitt, A., & Konstandin, L. (2016). Testing hydrodynamics schemes in galaxy disc simulations. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(4), 4382-4396. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1226

We examine how three fundamentally different numerical hydrodynamics codes follow the evolution of an isothermal galactic disc with an external spiral potential. We compare an adaptive mesh refinement code (RAMSES), a smoothed particle hydrodynamics... Read More about Testing hydrodynamics schemes in galaxy disc simulations.

Origin of the metallicity distribution in the thick disc (2016)
Journal Article
Miranda, M. S., Pilkington, K., Gibson, B. K., Brook, C. B., Sánchez-Blázquez, P., Minchev, I., Few, C. G., Smith, R., Domínguez-Tenreiro, R., Obreja, A., Bailin, J., & Stinson, G. S. (2016). Origin of the metallicity distribution in the thick disc. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 587, Article A10. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201525789

Using a suite of cosmological chemodynamical disc galaxy simulations, we assess how (a) radial metallicity gradients evolve with scaleheight; (b) the vertical metallicity gradients change through the thick disc; and (c) the vertical gradient of the s...

The imprint of satellite accretion on the chemical and dynamical properties of disc galaxies (2016)
Journal Article
Ruiz-Lara, T., Few, C. G., Gibson, B. K., Pérez, I., Florido, E., Minchev, I., & Sánchez-Blázquez, P. (2016). The imprint of satellite accretion on the chemical and dynamical properties of disc galaxies. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 586, A112. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201526470

Aims. We study the effects of the cosmological assembly history on the chemical and dynamical properties of the discs of spiral galaxies as a function of radius. Methods. We made use of the simulated Milky Way mass, fully-cosmological discs from Rams... Read More about The imprint of satellite accretion on the chemical and dynamical properties of disc galaxies.
