Star formation histories of dwarf galaxies in the FIRE simulations: dependence on mass and Local Group environment

Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel, Phillip F. Hopkins +13

We study star formation histories (SFHs) of $≃ 500$ dwarf galaxies (stellar mass $M_{*} = 1 0^{5} - 1 0^{9} M_{⊙}$ ) from FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. We compare dwarf…

A Predicted Correlation Between Age Gradient and Star Formation History in FIRE Dwarf Galaxies

Andrew S. Graus, James S. Bullock, Alex Fitts +9

We explore the radial variation of star formation histories in dwarf galaxies simulated with Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) physics. The sample contains 9 low-mass field…
