1 MINI-WORKSHOP ON GALAXY FORMATION UC Santa Cruz, 5 Aug 04 Simulations of SN Feedback in Dwarf Disk Galaxies P. Chris Fragile Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Collaborators: Stephen Murray, LLNL Doug Lin, UCSC

2 MINI-WORKSHOP ON GALAXY FORMATION UC Santa Cruz, 5 Aug 04 Simulations of SN Feedback in Dwarf Disk Galaxies Goals –Supernova enrichment histories of dwarf systems Building blocks for larger systems Polluters of IGM –Star-formation histories of dwarf systems Concentrated starbursts Self-regulated (distributed) star formation

3 MINI-WORKSHOP ON GALAXY FORMATION UC Santa Cruz, 5 Aug 04 Simulations of SN Feedback in Dwarf Disk Galaxies Methodology –Computational domain 30 kpc x 30 kpc x 15 kpc 256x256x128 –Galaxy potential Fixed (non-interacting) dark- matter potential –Gas distribution –Supernova input Variables: input rate and distribution Observables: mass ejection and metal ejection

4 MINI-WORKSHOP ON GALAXY FORMATION UC Santa Cruz, 5 Aug 04 Radiative Cooling Model Equilibrium cooling curve Bohringer & Hensler 1989, A&A, 215, 147; Dalgarno & McCray 1972, ARA&A, 10, 375

7 MINI-WORKSHOP ON GALAXY FORMATION UC Santa Cruz, 5 Aug 04 Integrated Column Density

8 MINI-WORKSHOP ON GALAXY FORMATION UC Santa Cruz, 5 Aug 04 Implications small systems vs. BIG systems –Metal retention is poor in systems below ~10 9 M  Self-regulated star-formation vs. Bursts –Metal retention is much higher during more quiescent or distributed star formation Type I vs. Type II supernovae –“Drift” of Type I progenitors may increase expulsion of byproducts (Iron) –Preferential retention of Type II products in dwarf systems???
