Calibrating cosmological simulations with implicit likelihood inference using galaxy growth observables
Yongseok Jo, Shy Genel, Benjamin Wandelt +7
In a novel approach employing implicit likelihood inference (ILI), also known as likelihood-free inference, we calibrate the parameters of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations aga…
Predicting sub-millimeter flux densities from global galaxy properties
R. K. Cochrane, C. C. Hayward, D. Angles-Alcazar +1
Recent years have seen growing interest in post-processing cosmological simulations with radiative transfer codes to predict observable fluxes for simulated galaxies. However, this…
Dust temperature uncertainties hamper the inference of dust and molecular gas masses from the dust continuum emission of quiescent high-redshift galaxies
R. K. Cochrane, C. C. Hayward, D. Anglés-Alcázar
Single flux density measurements at observed-frame sub-millimeter and millimeter wavelengths are commonly used to probe dust and gas masses in galaxies. In this Letter, we explore…
A unified model for the co-evolution of galaxies and their circumgalactic medium: the relative roles of turbulence and atomic cooling physics
Viraj Pandya, Drummond B. Fielding, Greg L. Bryan +7
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a pivotal role in regulating gas flows around galaxies and thus shapes their evolution. However, the details of how galaxies and their CGM co-…
Stellar feedback-regulated black hole growth: driving factors from nuclear to halo scales
Lindsey Byrne, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Jonathan Stern +4
Several recent simulations of galaxy formation predict two main phases of supermassive black hole (BH) accretion: an early, highly intermittent phase (during which BHs are under-ma…
Robust field-level inference with dark matter halos
Helen Shao, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Pablo Villanueva-Domingo +13
We train graph neural networks on halo catalogues from Gadget N-body simulations to perform field-level likelihood-free inference of cosmological parameters. The catalogues contain…
Exploring supermassive black hole physics and galaxy quenching across halo mass in FIRE cosmological zoom simulations
Sarah Wellons, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Philip F. Hopkins +7
Feedback from accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is thought to be a primary driver of quenching in massive galaxies, but the best way to implement SMBH physics into galaxy…
FIRE-3: Updated Stellar Evolution Models, Yields, & Microphysics and Fitting Functions for Applications in Galaxy Simulations
Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel, Coral Wheeler +18
Increasingly, uncertainties in predictions from galaxy formation simulations (at sub-Milky Way masses) are dominated by uncertainties in stellar evolution inputs. In this paper, we…
Galaxies lacking dark matter produced by close encounters in a cosmological simulation
Jorge Moreno, Shany Danieli, James S. Bullock +18
The standard cold dark matter plus cosmological constant model predicts that galaxies form within dark-matter haloes, and that low-mass galaxies are more dark-matter dominated than…
Public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation
Andrew Wetzel, Christopher C. Hayward, Robyn E. Sanderson +23
We describe a public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation, available at http://flathub.flatironinstitute.org/fire, from the Feedback In R…
Co-evolution of massive black holes and their host galaxies at high redshift: discrepancies from six cosmological simulations and the key role of JWST
Melanie Habouzit, Masafusa Onoue, Eduardo Banados +7
The James Webb Space Telescope will have the power to characterize high-redshift quasars at z>6 with an unprecedented depth and spatial resolution. While the brightest quasars at s…
The Circumgalactic Medium from the CAMELS Simulations: Forecasting Constraints on Feedback Processes from Future Sunyaev-Zeldovich Observations
Emily Moser, Nicholas Battaglia, Daisuke Nagai +9
The cycle of baryons through the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is important to understand in the context of galaxy formation and evolution. In this study we forecast constraints on t…
The black hole population in low-mass galaxies in large-scale cosmological simulations
Houda Haidar, Melanie Habouzit, Marta Volonteri +8
Recent systematic searches for massive black holes (BHs) in local dwarf galaxies led to the discovery of a population of faint Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We investigate the agre…
Hot-mode accretion and the physics of thin-disk galaxy formation
Zachary Hafen, Jonathan Stern, James Bullock +16
We use FIRE simulations to study disk formation in z~0, Milky Way-mass galaxies, and conclude that a key ingredient for the formation of thin stellar disks is the ability for accre…
