Chemical evolution of giant molecular clouds in simulations of galaxies (2016)
Journal Article
Richings, A. J., & Schaye, J. (2016). Chemical evolution of giant molecular clouds in simulations of galaxies. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(3), 2297-2321. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1135

We present an analysis of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) within hydrodynamic simulations of isolated, low-mass (M* ~ 10^9 M⊙) disc galaxies. We study the evolution of molecular abundances and the implications for CO emission and the XCO conversion fac...

Bimodality of low-redshift circumgalactic O VI in non-equilibrium EAGLE zoom simulations (2016)
Journal Article
Oppenheimer, B. D., Crain, R. A., Schaye, J., Rahmati, A., Richings, A. J., Trayford, J. W., …Theuns, T. (2016). Bimodality of low-redshift circumgalactic O VI in non-equilibrium EAGLE zoom simulations. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(2), 2157-2179. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1066

We introduce a series of 20 cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of L* (M200 = 10^11.7-10^12.3M⊙) and group-sized (M200 = 10^12.7-10^13.3M⊙) haloes run with the model used for the eagle project, which additionally includes a non-equilibrium ioniza...

The effects of metallicity, UV radiation and non-equilibrium chemistry in high-resolution simulations of galaxies (2016)
Journal Article
Richings, A. J., & Schaye, J. (2016). The effects of metallicity, UV radiation and non-equilibrium chemistry in high-resolution simulations of galaxies. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 458(1), 270-292. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw327

We present a series of hydrodynamic simulations of isolated galaxies with stellar mass of 109M˙. The models use a resolution of 750M˙ per particle and include a treatment for the full non-equilibrium chemical evolution of ions and molecules (157 spec...
