Second public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation
Andrew Wetzel, Jenna Samuel, Pratik J. Gandhi +34
We describe the second data release (DR2) of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation, from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, available…
Great Balls of FIRE III: Modeling Black Hole Mergers from Massive Star Clusters in Simulations of Galaxies
Tristan Bruel, Carl L. Rodriguez, Astrid Lamberts +3
After the nearly hundred gravitational-wave detections reported by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, the question of the cosmological origin of merging binary black holes (BBHs)…
Accretion onto disk galaxies via hot and rotating CGM inflows
Jonathan Stern, Drummond Fielding, Zachary Hafen +5
Observed accretion rates onto the Milky-Way and other local spirals fall short of that required to sustain star formation for cosmological timescales. A potential avenue for this u…
On the Metallicities and Kinematics of the Circumgalactic Media of Damped Ly Systems at
Stephanie M. Urbano Stawinski, Kate H. R. Rubin, J. Xavier Prochaska +7
We use medium- and high-resolution spectroscopy of close pairs of quasars to analyze the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding 32 damped Ly absorption systems (DLAs). The prim…
The Halo21 Absorption Modeling Challenge: Lessons From "Observing" Synthetic Circumgalactic Absorption Spectra
Zachary Hafen, Sameer, Cameron Hummels +7
In the Halo21 absorption modeling challenge we generated synthetic absorption spectra of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), and attempted to estimate the metallicity, temperature, an…
The imprint of bursty star formation on alpha-element abundance patterns in Milky Way-like galaxies
Hanna Parul, Jeremy Bailin, Andrew Wetzel +5
Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations demonstrate two main modes of star formation. At high redshifts star formation occurs in a series of short and intense bursts, whi…
