Description

I will present high-resolution simulations of the star forming multi-phase ISM investigating stellar feedback on all major thermal and non-thermal components like magnetic fields and cosmic rays. I will discuss the impact of stellar radiation, location of supernovae and cosmic rays on the distribution of molecular, neutral and ionized hydrogen. I will highlight limitations also of current galaxy formation simulations in accurately capturing the multi-phase ISM structure. The most recent galaxy formation simulations with feedback from individual massive stars and solar mass and sub-parsec resolution will be presented and future prospects will be discussed.

Wish list question? 11. What aspects of multi-phase ISM physics are the sources of greatest concern in current simulations of galaxy formation?
