Observed vs. simulated clumps: some tension…

simulation

Gas in Galaxies, Valetta

simulations disagree on fate of clumps simulations and observations probe different things

  • observations: clumps in stellar light
  • most theory: clumps in gas density

Conclusions

Clumpy galaxies in NIHAO:

  • agree well with observed relations
  • are ONLY present in stellar light
  • can NOT be found in stellar mass
  • are not long lived and do not contribute to

bulge growth
