Journal Article
Calura, F., Few, C. G., Romano, D., & D'Ercole, A. (2015). Feedback from massive stars and gas expulsion from proto-globular clusters. Astrophysical journal. Letters, 814(1), Article ARTN L14. https://doi.org/10.1088/2041-8205/814/1/L14

© 2015. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Globular clusters (GCs) are considerably more complex structures than previously thought, harboring at least two stellar generations that present clearly distinct chemical abundances. Sc...

Chemodynamics of a simulated disc galaxy: Initial mass functions and Type Ia supernova progenitors (2014)
Journal Article
Few, C. G., Courty, S., Gibson, B. K., Michel-Dansac, L., & Calura, F. (2014). Chemodynamics of a simulated disc galaxy: Initial mass functions and Type Ia supernova progenitors. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 444(4), 3845-3862. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1709

We trace the formation and advection of several elements within a cosmological adaptive mesh refinement simulation of an L⋆ galaxy. We use nine realizations of the same initial conditions with different stellar initial mass functions (IMFs), mass lim...

The stellar metallicity distribution of disc galaxies and bulges in cosmological simulations (2012)
Journal Article
Calura, F., Gibson, B. K., Michel-Dansac, L., Stinson, G. S., Cignoni, M., Dotter, A., …Wadsley, J. (2012). The stellar metallicity distribution of disc galaxies and bulges in cosmological simulations. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 427(2), 1401-1417. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.22052.x

By means of high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way (MW) like disc galaxies, we conduct an analysis of the associated stellar metallicity distribution functions (MDFs). After undertaking a kinematic decomposition of each... Read More about The stellar metallicity distribution of disc galaxies and bulges in cosmological simulations.

Properties of simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies in loose group and field environments (2012)
Journal Article
Few, C. G., Gibson, B. K., Courty, S., Michel-Dansac, L., Brook, C. B., & Stinson, G. S. (2012). Properties of simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies in loose group and field environments. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 547, Article ARTN A63. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201219649

Aims. We test the validity of comparing simulated field disk galaxies with the empirical properties of systems situated within environments more comparable to loose groups, including the Milky Way's Local Group. Methods. Cosmological simulations of M... Read More about Properties of simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies in loose group and field environments.
