Supernova Feedback in an Inhomogeneous Interstellar Medium

Davide Martizzi, Claude-Andre Faucher-Giguere, Eliot Quataert

Supernova (SN) feedback is one of the key processes shaping the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. SNe contribute to (and in some cases may dominate) driving turbulence in the…

Neutral hydrogen in galaxy halos at the peak of the cosmic star formation history

C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, P. F. Hopkins, D. Keres +3

We use high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project to make predictions for the covering fractions of neutral hydrogen around galaxies at z=2-4. These sim…

The Dynamical Evolution of Stellar Black Holes in Globular Clusters

Meagan Morscher, Bharath Pattabiraman, Carl Rodriguez +2

Our current understanding of the stellar initial mass function and massive star evolution suggests that young globular clusters may have formed hundreds to thousands of stellar-mas…

Observational Signatures of Galactic Winds Powered by Active Galactic Nuclei

Jesse Nims, Eliot Quataert, Claude-Andre Faucher-Giguere

We predict the observational signatures of galaxy scale outflows powered by active galactic nuclei (AGN). Most of the emission is produced by the forward shock driven into the ambi…

The impact of environment and mergers on the HI content of galaxies in hydrodynamic simulations

Mika Rafieferantsoa, Romeel Davé, Daniel Anglés-Alcazar +3

We quantitatively examine the effects of accretion and environment on the HI content of galaxies within a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation that reproduces basic observed trends…

The Discovery of Radio Stars within 10 arcseconds of Sgr A* at 7mm

F. Yusef-Zadeh, D. A. Roberts, H. Bushouse +4

Very Large Array observations of the Galactic Center at 7 mm have produced an image of the 30 arcseconds surrounding Sgr A* with a resolution of 82x42 milliarcseconds (mas). A comp…

Galactic r-process enrichment by neutron star mergers in cosmological simulations of a Milky Way-mass galaxy

Freeke van de Voort, Eliot Quataert, Philip F. Hopkins +2

We quantify the stellar abundances of neutron-rich r-process nuclei in cosmological zoom-in simulations of a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the Feedback In Realistic Environments proje…

The X-ray Luminosity Functions of Field Low Mass X-ray Binaries in Early-Type Galaxies: Evidence for a Stellar Age Dependence

B. D Lehmer, M. Berkeley, A. Zezas +11

We present direct constraints on how the formation of low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations in galactic fields depends on stellar age. In this pilot study, we utilize Chandra an…

Comparison of Prestellar Core Elongations and Large-Scale Molecular Cloud Structures in the Lupus I Region

F. Poidevin, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angile +28

Turbulence and magnetic fields are expected to be important for regulating molecular cloud formation and evolution. However, their effects on subparsec to 100 parsec scales, leadin…
