Galaxy Size Problem at z=3 Simulated Galaxies Are Too Small(11)

时间:2025-03-12

Using state-of-the-art adaptive mesh refinement cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with a spatial resolution of 0.15 h-1kpc on a cosmological volume (20 h-1Mpc), we investigate the sizes of galaxies at z=3 in the standard cold dark matter model where re
