Gasoline

The Gasoline code contains a number of components that have been outlined in a number of publications. If you want to understand the internal mechanisms of Gasoline, you should start here.

Wadsley, James W.; Keller, Benjamin W.; Quinn, Thomas R. (2017)

This is the paper that describes the current state of the SPH method used in Gasoline. The public release began with this publication

Keller, B. W.; Wadsley, J.; Benincasa, S. M.; Couchman, H. M. P. (2014)

The newer "Superbubble" model for supernova feedback is described, along with some preliminary Gasoline2 features, in this paper.

The molecular hydrogen cooling and star formation components in Gasoline are described in this paper

The black hole seed formation code is described in this paper.

Shen, S.; Wadsley, J.; Stinson, G. (2010)

The metal line cooling, as well as the Smagorinsky mixing estimator, are described in this paper

Wadsley, J. W.; Veeravalli, G.; Couchman, H. M. P. (2008)

The artificial diffusion model used in gasoline was first described in this paper

Stinson, Greg; Seth, Anil; Katz, Neal; Wadsley, James; Governato, Fabio; Quinn, Tom (2006)

This paper describes the basic star formation recipe used in Gasoline, as well as the cooling-shutoff based "Blastwave" supernova feedback model.

Wadsley, J. W.; Stadel, J.; Quinn, T. (2004)

This is the original code paper that describes the first version of Gasoline. Much of the internal architecture is described here.
