Balmer breaks in simulated galaxies at z>6

C. Binggeli, E. Zackrisson, X. Ma +6

Photometric observations of the spectroscopically confirmed galaxy MACS1149-JD1 have indicated the presence of a prominent Balmer break in its spectral energy distri…

Self-consistent proto-globular cluster formation in cosmological simulations of high-redshift galaxies

Xiangcheng Ma, Michael Y. Grudić, Eliot Quataert +7

We report the formation of bound star clusters in a sample of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of z>5 galaxies from the FIRE project. We find that bound clusters pr…

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…

On the dust temperatures of high redshift galaxies

Lichen Liang, Robert Feldmann, Dušan Kereš +7

Dust temperature is an important property of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. It is required when converting (sub)millimeter broadband flux to total infrared luminosity (…

Dust attenuation, dust emission, and dust temperature in galaxies at z>=5: a view from the FIRE-2 simulations

Xiangcheng Ma, Christopher C. Hayward, Caitlin M. Casey +6

We present a suite of 34 high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations consisting of thousands of halos up to M_halo~10^12 M_sun (M_star~10^10.5 M_sun) at z>=5 from the Feedback…
