Physics

Scientific paper

Recent smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations have shown that it is possible to produce bulgeless dwarf galaxies. The result depends upon allowing gas to reach high densities before it can form stars. This is enabled by the use of unprecedented resolution in simulations of entire galaxies. One additional result of this change is that gas collapses into molecular clouds and forms stellar clusters. We compare the mass function of these clusters with observations and investigate the reality of the physics involved in these simulations.
