This work by Daniel Ceverino et al. explores the formation and evolution of high-redshift clumpy disks and bulges through cosmological simulations. Focusing on gas dynamics in galaxies at z=2.3, the study investigates the interplay between cold and hot gas phases and their gravitational instability leading to clump formation. It discusses star formation rates, stellar density, and clump migration over time scales of 400 Myr. The results aim to elucidate how large clumpy structures evolve into bulges, contributing to our understanding of galaxy evolution in the early universe.
