Connecting the Dots: Tracking Galaxy Evolution Using Constant Cumulative Number Density at 3<z<7
Jason Jaacks, Steven L. Finkelstein, Kentaro Nagamine
Using the cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamical code GADGET-3 we make a realistic assessment of the technique of using constant cumulative number density as a tracer of gal…
Baseline Metal Enrichment from Population III Star Formation in Cosmological Volume Simulations
Jason Jaacks, Robert Thompson, Steven L. Finkelstein +1
We utilize the hydrodynamic and N-body code {\small GIZMO} coupled with our newly developed sub-grid Population~III (Pop~III) Legacy model, designed specifically for cosmological v…
The Evolution of the Galaxy Rest-Frame Ultraviolet Luminosity Function Over the First Two Billion Years
Steven L. Finkelstein, Russell E. Ryan, Casey Papovich +26
We present a robust measurement and analysis of the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function at z=4-8. We use deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging over the CANDELS/GOODS fiel…
Legacy of star formation in the pre-reionization universe
Jason Jaacks, Steven L. Finkelstein, Volker Bromm
We utilize GIZMO, coupled with newly developed sub-grid models for Population~III (Pop~III) and Population~II (Pop~II), to study the legacy of star formation in the pre-reionizatio…
Duty Cycle and the Increasing Star Formation History of z>=6 Galaxies
Jason Jaacks, Kentaro Nagamine, Jun-Hwan Choi
We examine the duty cycle and the history of star formation (SFH) for high-redshift galaxies at z>=6 using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. We find that, even though individu…
Impact of H_2-based star formation model on the z>=6 luminosity function and the ionizing photon budget for reionization
Jason Jaacks, Robert Thompson, Kentaro Nagamine
We present the results of a numerical study examining the effect of H_2-based star formation (SF) model on the rest-frame UV luminosity function and star formation rate function (S…
