Hydrodynamic simulations of galaxies Rotation Curves and ISM of Dwarf Galaxies
Numerical simulations : recent progress Stellar Disk and Bulge: is there a thin disk? Is bulge too massive? Angular momentum Tully-Fisher relation Feedback How gas gets to the disk? Mbaryons/Mhalo ratio

Increasing Resolution Conserves Angular Momentum in Disks 4000 DM DM DM If DM+stellar component not collisionless: Massive halo particles exchange E and J with disk particles ---> disks heat and lose angular momentum
Angular momentum of Stellar Disks increases with resolution. Galaxies still too concentrated Abadi et al Governato et al (see also Robertson 05 Okamoto 05) stars
High Spin Halo (0.05) Vc =170Km/sec Low Spin Halo (0.01) Vc =70Km/sec Due to sufficient resolution 300pc disks form with the right angular momentum Credits: Governato

How gas gets to the disk The old picture is wrong: do not even think about spherical accretion and shocking to virial temperature Still not clear what fraction of gas comes with satellites and what comes with filaments

Isolated galaxies Observations Simulations
Simon etal 04: NGC 4605 Vmax =100km/s -- Usual problems with NFW. -- Disk is important: normal M/L R =1 M/L K = 0.5 1arcmin
Simon etal 04 NGC 4605 POSS II Changes in PA and inclination in central 1kpc are consistent with a weak bar
DDO 47: Vmax = 80km/s Distance = 4Mpc HI is very lumpy Stellar light does not align with HI
A large fraction of dwarf Galaxies in the central 1kpc has a maximal disk with expected stellar population (judging by colors). Signs of a weak bar are frequent. ISM is very clumpy. Observations:
LMC HI distribution Venn+Stavely Smith 2003) Cosmological Simulations: feeback, 300pc resolution … Governato 2004 Multiphase ISM is nicely reproduced

Cold gas hardly shows any traces of the bar. Filaments and lumps of cold gas Large bubbles filled by 10 5 K gas Stellar feedback feeds the multiphase ISM
Rotation Curves: Cold and Hot gas Little difference
Gas Rotation Circular Velocity Asymmetric drift (aka random motions) cannot help to explain why gas rotates too slow Rms Velocities < 20km/s

NGC 6822 Observations Vcirc(total) Magellanic-type dwarf irregular 0.5Mpc from Milky Way
-In dwarf galaxies gas does not rotates fast enough: Vgas < Vcirc -Non-circular velocities are not large enough to account for the difference -Pressure support from 1e5K gas is one of key ingredients Core is ‘observed’ where there is a real cusp. CONCLUSIONS
