SUMMARY:"Toward the Formation of Realistic Disk Galaxies".\, Astronomy
  Colloquium\, Alyson Brooks\, CALTECH
DESCRIPTION:Much progress has been made in recent years in forming rea
 listic disk galaxies in fully cosmological simulations.  I will highli
 ght the necessity of both 1) a physically motivated prescription for s
 tar formation and feedback and 2) very high numerical resolution to ac
 hieve a successful model for the formation of disk galaxies<br><br>
\n
 (including bulgeless dwarf disk galaxies).  The resulting simulated ga
 laxies simultaneously match observed disk scaling relations (stellar m
 ass -- metallicity\, size -- luminosity\, size -- velocity\, and veloc
 ity -- luminosity) for the first time.  Realistic simulated galaxies a
 re the necessary starting point for interpreting observations in light
  of galaxy formation theory.  Hence\, I will conclude by highlighting 
 the science enabled by these state-of-the-art simulations.
