The impact of quenching on galaxy profiles in the Simba simulation

Sarah Appleby, Romeel Davé, Katarina Kraljic +2

We study specific star formation rate (sSFR) and gas profiles of star forming and green valley galaxies in the Simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. Star-forming galaxy half-…

Jet Feedback and the Photon Underproduction Crisis in Simba

Jacob F. Christiansen, Romeel Davé, Daniele Sorini +1

We examine the impact of black hole jet feedback on the properties of the low-redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) in the SIMBA simulation, with a focus on the Ly forest mean flu…

The Fates of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations

Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +7

We analyze the different fates of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in FIRE-2 cosmological simulations, focusing on the redshifts z=0.25 and z=2 representative of recent surveys. Our…

Cosmological baryon transfer in the SIMBA simulations

Josh Borrow, Daniel Angles-Alcazar, Romeel Dave

We present a framework for characterizing the large scale movement of baryons relative to dark matter in cosmological simulations, requiring only the initial conditions and final s…

Measuring dynamical masses from gas kinematics in simulated high-redshift galaxies

Sarah Wellons, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +4

Advances in instrumentation have recently extended detailed measurements of gas kinematics to large samples of high-redshift galaxies. Relative to most nearby, thin disk galaxies,…

Mergers, Starbursts, and Quenching in the Simba Simulation

Francisco Rodríguez Montero, Romeel Davé, Vivienne Wild +2

We use the Simba cosmological galaxy formation simulation to investigate the relationship between major mergers ( 4:1), starbursts, and galaxy quenching. Mergers are identifi…

Predictions for the spatial distribution of the dust continuum emission in 1<z<5 star-forming galaxies

R. K. Cochrane, C. C. Hayward, D. Anglés-Alcázar +7

We present the first detailed study of the spatially-resolved dust continuum emission of simulated galaxies at 1<z<5. We run the radiative transfer code SKIRT on a sample of submil…

The Implications of Local Fluctuations in the Galactic Midplane for Dynamical Analysis in the Gaia Era

Angus Beane, Robyn E. Sanderson, Melissa K. Ness +6

Orbital properties of stars, computed from their six-dimensional phase space measurements and an assumed Galactic potential, are used to understand the structure and evolution of t…

Black Hole -- Galaxy Correlations in Simba

Nicole Thomas, Romeel Davé, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +1

We examine the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes in the Simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. Simba grows black holes via gravitational torque-limited acc…

Simba: Cosmological Simulations with Black Hole Growth and Feedback

Romeel Davé, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Desika Narayanan +3

We introduce the Simba simulations, the next generation of the Mufasa cosmological galaxy formation simulations run with Gizmo's meshless finite mass hydrodynamics. Simba includes…
