Growth of galaxies in SPH simulations

We explore the growth of galaxies formed in self-consistent Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) cosmological simulations. In the first Chapter, we examine the temperature history of gas accreted by forming galaxies in SPH simulations. Some of this gas follows the track expected in the conventional...
