Description
Many cosmological simulations typically rely on highly mass loaded, ejective winds, particularly for low mass galaxies, to regulate star formation. Recent hints from observations, analytical theory, and idealised simulations have pointed towards lower mass loadings, and a more preventative form of feedback. Using the Arkenstone winds framework, for the first time we model the impact of low mass, high specific energy winds in a cosmological context, leading to many interesting implications for the growth and evolution of galaxies and their surrounding gas.
