Title: Star Cluster Formation in Cosmological Simulations. II. Effects of Star Formation Efficiency and Stellar Feedback

Abstract

Here, the implementation of star formation and stellar feedback in cosmological simulations plays a critical role in shaping galaxy properties. In the first paper of the series, we presented a new method to model star formation as a collection of star clusters. In this paper, we improve the algorithm by eliminating accretion gaps, boosting momentum feedback, and introducing a subgrid initial bound fraction, $$f_i$$, that distinguishes cluster mass from stellar particle mass. We perform a suite of simulations with different star formation efficiency per freefall time $$\epsilon_{\rm ff}$$ and supernova momentum feedback intensity $$f_{\rm boost}$$. We find that the star formation history of a Milky Way-sized galaxy is sensitive to $$f_{\rm boost}$$, which allows us to constrain its value, $$f_{\rm boost}\approx5$$, in the current simulation setup. Changing $$\epsilon_{\rm ff}$$ from a few percent to 200\% has little effect on global galaxy properties. However, on smaller scales, the properties of star clusters are very sensitive to $$\epsilon_{\rm ff}$$. We find that $$f_i$$ increases with $$\epsilon_{\rm ff}$$ and cluster mass. Through the dependence on $$f_i$$, the shape of the cluster initial mass function varies strongly with $$\epsilon_{\rm ff}$$. The fraction of clustered star formation and maximum cluster mass increase with the star formation rate surface density, with the normalization of both relations dependent on $$\epsilon_{\rm ff}$$. The cluster formation timescale systematically decreases with increasing $$\epsilon_{\rm ff}$$. Local variations in the gas accretion history lead to a 0.25~dex scatter for the integral cluster formation efficiency. Joint constraints from all the observables prefer the runs that produce a median integral efficiency of 16%.
