In the ΛCDM model, cosmic structure forms in a hierarchical fashion. According to this paradigm,
even low-mass dwarf galaxies grow via smooth accretion and mergers. Given the low masses of dwarf
galaxies and their even smaller progenitors, the UV background is expected to have a significant
influence on their gas content and, consequently, their star formation histories. Generally,...

Mesh-free hydrodynamical methods as introduced by *Hopkins (2014)* provide a promising symbiosis of particle based and mesh based Lagrangian hydrodynamical methods. They couple the accuracy of finite volume methods to the computational strengths of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). To this end, the fluid is discretized as a set of particles, as in SPH. Volumes for the particles are...
