New variation of a galaxy formation model demonstrates star clusters' evolution and tracing.
Key Points
This work aims to enhance understanding of star cluster populations and their relation to galaxy evolution by introducing a modified semi-analytical model.
Developed a new version of the L-Galaxies 2020 semi-analytical model to incorporate star cluster formation above 10^4 M⊙.
Random sampling of star cluster masses and accounting for factors like stellar evolution and galaxy mergers.
Simulated the evolution of properties for up to 2000 star clusters per galaxy.
Successfully reproduced the relationship between the brightness of young star clusters and host galaxy star formation rates.
Model revealed complexity in the star cluster population at z = 0, highlighting diverse origins and destruction channels.
Indicated that variations in model parameters significantly affect star cluster evolution and properties.
