Effective stellar feedback is used in models of galaxy formation to drive realistic galaxy evolution. Models typically include energy injection from supernovae as the dominant form of stellar feedback, often in some form of sub-grid recipe.…

Feedback to the interstellar medium (ISM) from ionising radiation, stellar winds and supernovae is central to regulating star formation in galaxies. Due to their low mass ($M_{*} < 10^{9}$\,M$_\odot$), dwarf galaxies are particularly…
We present numerical simulations of a 15 solar mass star in a suite of idealised environments in order to quantify the amount of energy transmitted to the interstellar medium (ISM). We include models of stellar winds, UV photoionisation and…
We investigate the effects of gradual heating on the evolution of turbulent molecular clouds of mass $2\times 10^6$ M$_\odot$ and virial parameters ranging between $0.7-1.2$. This gradual heating represents the energy output from processes…

Galactic dynamo models take as input certain parameters of the interstellar turbulence, most essentially the correlation time $\tau$, root-mean-square turbulent speed $u$, and correlation scale $l$. However, these quantities are difficult,…
Cosmological simulations make use of sub-grid recipes for the implementation of galactic winds driven by massive stars because direct injection of supernova energy in thermal form leads to strong radiative losses, rendering the feedback…
Type II supernovae (SNe), probably the most important contributors to stellar feedback in galaxy formation, explode within the very dense star-forming clouds, where the injected energy is most easily radiated away. The efficiency of type II…
Galactic outflows driven by supernovae (SNe) are thought to be a powerful regulator of a galaxy's star-forming efficiency. Mass, energy, and metal outflows ($\eta_M$, $\eta_E$, and $\eta_Z$, here normalized by the star formation rate, the…
