TL;DR: Simulations that simultaneously follow star formation and the growth of black holes during galaxy–galaxy collisions find that, in addition to generating a burst of star formation, a merger leads to strong inflows that feed gas to the supermassive black hole and thereby power the quasar.

TL;DR: In this article, a modele de masse for les galaxies elliptiques, which approche la loi R 1/4 de Vaucouleur, is developpe.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for star formation and supernova feedback is proposed to describe the multiphase structure of star-forming gas on scales that are typically not resolved in cosmological simulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a coarse-grained representation of the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) and BH accretion starting from basic physical assumptions is proposed to incorporate feedback from star formation and black hole accretion into simulations of isolated and merging galaxies.

TL;DR: The Illustris Project as mentioned in this paper is a series of large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation, which includes primordial and metal-line cooling with self-shielding corrections, stellar evolution, stellar feedback, gas recycling, chemical enrichment, supermassive black hole growth, and feedback from active galactic nuclei.
