The History of Enrichment of the Intergalactic Medium Using Cosmological Simulations

I investigate the chemical evolution of the Universe in a series of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with the purpose of finding a self-consistent evolutionary scenario of galaxy formation able to reproduce key observables focusing on the enrichment of the intergalactic medium (IGM). The most...
