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 100.000 DM 10.000 DM 4000 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. 2003 Governato et al. 2004 (see also Robertson 05 Okamoto 05) stars
Due to sufficient resolution 300pc disks form with the right angular momentum High Spin Halo (0.05) Vc =170Km/sec Low Spin Halo (0.01) Vc =70Km/sec Credits: Governato
Galaxies too concentrated. B/D 1:3 or higher. Governato 3 10^12 solar masses 8 10^11 solar masses Abadi et al 03 Governato et al. 04 Peak velocity higher than in the real Milky Way. No realistic feedback yet!

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/LR=1 M/LK= 0.5 1arcmin
Simon etal 04 NGC 4605 Changes in PA and inclination in central 1kpc are consistent with a weak bar POSS II
DDO 47: Vmax = 80km/s Distance = 4Mpc HI is very lumpy Stellar light does not align with HI
Observations: • 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.
Cosmological Simulations: feeback, 300pc resolution … LMC HI distribution Venn+Stavely Smith 2003) Multiphase ISM is nicely reproduced Governato 2004

Cold gas hardly shows any traces of the bar. • Filaments and lumps of cold gas • Large bubbles filled by 105K gas • Stellar feedback feeds the multiphase ISM
Rotation Curves: Cold and Hot gas Little difference
Circular Velocity Gas Rotation Asymmetric drift (aka random motions) cannot help to explain why gas rotates too slow Rms Velocities < 20km/s
Another simulation: dwarf 5 Resolution: 60pc Cold gas stars Valenzuela, Rhee, Klypin, Governato et al. 2005 Models of NGC3109 and NGC6822 dm baryons Gas rms velocity
Cold Gas density in the central 2kpc region: Clear signs of multiphase medium
Stars Cold/Hot Gas: density Cold Gas:velocity
Observations Vcirc(total) NGC 6822 Magellanic-type dwarf irregular 0.5Mpc from Milky Way
CONCLUSIONS • -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.
