Scientific paper

It has been shown that star formation correlates tightly with molecular hydrogen. We track the molecular hydrogen mass fraction within our cosmological SPH code GADGET-3 by use of a semi-analytical model by Krumholz et al. that assumes a formation-dissociation balance. This model allows us to regulate the star formation in our simulation by the local abundance of molecular hydrogen rather than a gas surface density threshold. We investigate implications of the H2 star formation model on high-redshift galaxy population properties such as mass/luminosity function.
