TL;DR
This paper investigates how different interstellar medium (ISM) models influence star formation in galactic discs through comparative simulations, highlighting the significance of ISM structure in galaxy evolution.
Contribution
It introduces a comparative analysis of galaxy simulations with varied ISM properties to assess their impact on star formation.
Findings
ISM structure significantly affects star formation rates
Different ISM models lead to varied galaxy evolution outcomes
Simulation results emphasize the importance of detailed ISM physics
Abstract
Modelling global disc galaxies is a difficult task which has previously resulted in the small scale physics of the interstellar medium being greatly simplified. In this talk, I compare simulations of galaxies with different ISM properties to determine the importance of the ISM structure in the star formation properties of the disc.
