Abstract
We analyze the structural and dynamical properties of disk-like objects formed in fully consistent cosmological simulations which include inefficient star formation. Comparison with data of similar observable properties of spiral galaxies gives satisfactory agreement, in contrast with previous findings using other codes. This suggests that the stellar formation implementation used has allowed the formation of disks as well as guaranteed their stability.
