Productive Performance Engineering for Weather and Climate Modeling with Python

Tal Ben-Nun, Linus Groner, Florian Deconinck +11

Earth system models are developed with a tight coupling to target hardware, often containing specialized code predicated on processor characteristics. This coupling stems from usin…

SIDM on FIRE: Hydrodynamical Self-Interacting Dark Matter simulations of low-mass dwarf galaxies

Victor H. Robles, James S. Bullock, Oliver D. Elbert +7

We compare a suite of four simulated dwarf galaxies formed in 10 haloes of collisionless Cold Dark Matter (CDM) with galaxies simulated in the same haloes with an…

Dwarf Galaxy Mass Estimators vs. Cosmological Simulations

Alejandro Gonzalez-Samaniego, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +5

We use a suite of high-resolution cosmological dwarf galaxy simulations to test the accuracy of commonly-used mass estimators from Walker et al.(2009) and Wolf et al.(2010), both o…

Counting Black Holes: The Cosmic Stellar Remnant Population and Implications for LIGO

Oliver D. Elbert, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat

We present an empirical approach for interpreting gravitational wave signals of binary black hole mergers under the assumption that the underlying black hole population is sourced…

FIRE-2 Simulations: Physics versus Numerics in Galaxy Formation

Philip F Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel, Dusan Keres +25

The Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project explores feedback in cosmological galaxy formation simulations. Previous FIRE simulations used an identical source code (FIRE-…

FIRE in the Field: Simulating the Threshold of Galaxy Formation

Alex Fitts, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Oliver D. Elbert +9

We present a suite of 15 cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated dark matter halos, all with masses of at , in order to unde…

A Testable Conspiracy: Simulating Baryonic Effects on Self-Interacting Dark Matter Halos

Oliver D. Elbert, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat +3

We investigate the response of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos to the growth of galaxy potentials using idealized simulations, each run in tandem with standard collisionl…

The no-spin zone: rotation vs dispersion support in observed and simulated dwarf galaxies

Coral Wheeler, Andrew B. Pace, James S. Bullock +6

We perform a systematic Bayesian analysis of rotation vs. dispersion support () in dwarf galaxies throughout the Local Volume (LV) over a stellar mass range $…

Sweating the small stuff: simulating dwarf galaxies, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, and their own tiny satellites

Coral Wheeler, Jose Onorbe, James S. Bullock +5

We present FIRE/Gizmo hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations of isolated dark matter halos, two each at the mass of classical dwarf galaxies () and…

Core Formation in Dwarf Halos with Self Interacting Dark Matter: No Fine-Tuning Necessary

Oliver D. Elbert, James S. Bullock, Shea Garrison-Kimmel +3

We investigate the effect of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) on the density profiles of isolated dwarf dark matter halos -- the scale of relev…
