Neural networks as optimal estimators to marginalize over baryonic effects

Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Benjamin D. Wandelt, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +4

Many different studies have shown that a wealth of cosmological information resides on small, non-linear scales. Unfortunately, there are two challenges to overcome to utilize that…

Bringing faint active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to light: a view from large-scale cosmological simulations

Adrian P. Schirra, Melanie Habouzit, Ralf S. Klessen +6

The sensitivity of X-ray facilities and our ability to detect fainter active galactic nuclei (AGNs) will increase with the upcoming Athena mission and the AXIS and Lynx concept mis…

First results from SMAUG: The need for preventative stellar feedback and improved baryon cycling in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation

Viraj Pandya, Rachel S. Somerville, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +10

Semi-analytic models (SAMs) are a promising means of tracking the physical processes associated with galaxy formation, but many of their approximations have not been rigorously tes…

Virialization of the inner CGM in the FIRE simulations and implications for galaxy discs, star formation and feedback

Jonathan Stern, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Drummond Fielding +13

We use the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations to study the formation of a quasi-static, virial-temperature gas phase in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) at redshifts 0<z<5, and how the…
