The physics driving the cosmic star formation history

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the physics driving the cosmic star formation history using the more than 50 large, cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations that together comprise the OverWhelmingly Large Simulations project.

Mass loss of galaxies due to an ultraviolet background

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to determine to what extent galaxies lose their gas due to photoheating from an ionizing background, and they found that the characteristic mass at which haloes on average have lost half of their baryons is M c ∼ 6.5 x 10 9 h -1 M ⊙ at z = 0, which corresponds to a circular velocity of 25 km s -1.
