Using Galacticus, I explored how limited time resolution in merger trees extracted from N-body simulations can affect the accuracy of galaxy properties in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. I find that at least 128 timesteps between redshifts 20 and 0 are required to get answers accurate to better than 5% on average. More discussion of why this is important can be found here. |
