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…
Gas kinematics, morphology, and angular momentum in the FIRE simulations
Kareem El-Badry, Eliot Quataert, Andrew Wetzel +8
We study the z=0 gas kinematics, morphology, and angular momentum content of isolated galaxies in a suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project spanning $M_{\st…
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-…
