Romain Teyssier (Princeton University) "Turbulence and magnetic fields as new ingredients for galaxy formation simulations"
I will describe some recent innovations in galaxy formation simulations attempting to model star formation more consistently than previous models. I will show that modeling unresolved turbulence can be a promising technique to predict the local star formation efficiency. I will then explore the role of magnetic fields as a possible key new ingredient in galaxy formation theories. I will summarize my current best scenario for cosmic magnetism and I will show how magnetic fields could potentially change the picture.
