    The [alpha/Fe] ratios of very metal-poor stars within the integrated galactic initial mass function theory 
    Recchi, S.; Calura, F.; Gibson, Brad K.; Kroupa, P. (Oxford University Press, 2014-01)
    The aim of this paper is to quantify the amplitude of the predicted plateau in [α/Fe] ratios associated with the most metal-poor stars of a galaxy. We assume that the initial mass function (IMF) in galaxies is steeper ...

    The chemical evolution of globular clusters – II. Metals and fluorine 
    Sanchez-Blazquez, P.; Marcolini, A.; Gibson, Brad K.; Karakas, A. I.; Pilkington, K.; Calura, F. (Oxford University Press, 2012-01)
    In the first paper of this series, we proposed a new framework in which to model the chemical evolution of globular clusters. This model is predicated upon the assumption that clusters form within an interstellar medium ...

    Chemodynamics of a simulated disc galaxy: initial mass functions and Type Ia supernova progenitors 
    Few, C. G.; Courty, S.; Gibson, Brad K.; Michel-Dansac, L.; Calura, F. (Oxford University Press, 2014-11-11)
    We trace the formation and advection of several elements within a cosmological adaptive mesh refinement simulation of an L★ galaxy. We use nine realizations of the same initial conditions with different stellar ...

    The cold gas content of bulgeless dwarf galaxies 
    Pilkington, K.; Gibson, Brad K.; Calura, F.; Brooks, A. M.; Mayer, L.; Brook, C. B.; Stinson, G. S.; Thacker, Robert John, 1970-; Few, C. G.; Cunnama, D. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11)
    We present an analysis of the neutral hydrogen (H I) properties of a fully cosmological hydrodynamical dwarf galaxy, run with varying simulation parameters. As reported by Governato et al., the high-resolution, high star ...

    The distribution of metals in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of dwarf disc galaxies 
    Pilkington, K.; Gibson, Brad K.; Brook, C. B.; Calura, F.; Stinson, G. S.; Thacker, Robert John, 1970-; Michel-Dansac, L.; Bailin, J.; Couchman, H. M. P.; Wadsley, J. (Oxford University Press, 2012-09)
    We examine the chemical properties of five cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of an M33-like disc galaxy which have been shown previously to be consistent with the morphological characteristics and bulk scaling relations ...

    Metallicity gradients in disks: Do galaxies form inside-out? 
    Pilkington, K.; Few, C. G.; Gibson, Brad K.; Calura, F.; Michel-Dansac, L.; Thacker, Robert John, 1970-; Molla, M.; Matteucci, F.; Rahimi, A.; Kawata, D. (EDP Sciences, 2012-04)
    Aims. We examine radial and vertical metallicity gradients using a suite of disk galaxy hydrodynamical simulations, supplemented with two classic chemical evolution approaches. We determine the rate of change of gradient ...

    RAMSES-CH: a new chemodynamical code for cosmological simulations 
    Gibson, Brad K.; Few, C. G.; Courty, S.; Kawata, D.; Calura, F.; Teyssier, R. (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012-07)
    We present a new chemodynamical code – RAMSES-CH – for use in simulating the self-consistent evolution of chemical and hydrodynamical properties of galaxies within a fully cosmological framework. We build upon the adaptive ...

    The stellar metallicity distribution of disc galaxies and bulges in cosmological simulations 
    Gibson, Brad K.; Calura, F.; Michel-Dansac, L.; Stinson, G. S.; Dotter, A.; Pilkington, K.; House, E. L.; Brook, C. B.; Few, C. G.; Cignoni, M. (Royal Astronomical Society, 2012-12)
    By means of high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way (MW) like disc galaxies, we conduct an analysis of the associated stellar metallicity distribution functions (MDFs). After undertaking a ...
