Effect of the cosmological transition to metal-enriched star-formation on the hydrogen 21-cm signal

Mattis Magg, Itamar Reis, Anastasia Fialkov +6

Mapping Cosmic Dawn with 21-cm tomography offers an exciting new window into the era of primordial star formation. However, self-consistent implementation of both the process of st…

Populating H and CO in galaxy simulation with dust evolution

Li-Hsin Chen, Hiroyuki Hirashita, Kuan-Chou Hou +3

There are two major theoretical issues for the star formation law (the relation between the surface densities of molecular gas and star formation rate on a galaxy scale): (i) At lo…

Public Release of A-SLOTH: Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos

Tilman Hartwig, Mattis Magg, Li-Hsin Chen +8

The semi-analytical model A-SLOTH (Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos) is the first public code that connects the formation of the first stars and galaxies to obs…

Tracing stars in Milky Way satellites with A-SLOTH

Li-Hsin Chen, Mattis Magg, Tilman Hartwig +3

We study the stellar mass-to-halo mass relation at in 30 Milky Way-like systems down to the ultra-faint () regime using the semi-analytic model A-SLOTH. A…

Comparing simulated Milky Way satellite galaxies with observations using unsupervised clustering

Li-Hsin Chen, Tilman Hartwig, Ralf S. Klessen +1

We develop a new analysis method that allows us to compare multi-dimensional observables to a theoretical model. The method is based on unsupervised clustering algorithms which ass…

How the Population III Initial Mass Function Governs the Properties of the First Galaxies

Li-Hsin Chen, Ke-Jung Chen, Sung-han Tsai +1

The properties of Population III (Pop III) stars impact many aspects of primeval structure formation such as the onset of cosmological reionization and early chemical enrichment. H…

Where are the extremely metal-poor stars in the Milky Way and Andromeda? Expectations from TNG50

Li-Hsin Chen, Annalisa Pillepich, Simon C. O. Glover +1

We analyse the location of extremely metal-poor stars (EMPs, [Fe/H]) in 198 Milky Way (MW)/M31-like galaxies at in the TNG50 simulation. Each system is divided into fo…

A-SLOTH: Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos

Mattis Magg, Tilman Hartwig, Li-Hsin Chen +1

Galaxies are thought to reside inside of large gravitationally bound structures of dark matter, so-called haloes. While the smallest of these haloes host no or only a few stars, th…
