    Accretion disc particle accretion in major merger simulations 
    Wurster, James Howard; Thacker, Robert John, 1970- (Oxford University Press, 2013-05)
    A recent approach to simulating localized feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) by Power et al. uses an accretion disc particle to represent both the black hole and its accretion disc. We have extrapolated and adapted ...

    Cloud angular momentum and effective viscosity in global SPH simulations with feedback 
    Williamson, David John; Thacker, Robert John, 1970-; Wurster, James Howard; Gibson, Brad K. (Oxford University Press, 2014-08-21)
    We examine simulations of isolated galaxies to analyse the effects of localized feedback on the formation and evolution of molecular clouds. Feedback contributes to turbulence and the destruction of clouds, leading to a ...

    A comparative study of AGN feedback algorithms 
    Wurster, James Howard; Thacker, Robert John, 1970- (Oxford University Press, 2013-05)

    Modelling active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback in numerical simulations is both technically and theoretically challenging, with numerous approaches having been published in the literature. We present a study of five ...

    Feedback from active galactic nuclei : a study of its impact and numerical implementations 
    Wurster, James Howard (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)
    Feedback from active galactic nuclei is now widely regarded as playing a fundamental role in modern theories of galaxy formation. Recent research has highlighted that not only may AGN feedback suppress star formation by ...
