Spatially Resolved Gas-phase Metallicity in FIRE-2 Dwarfs: Late-Time Evolution of Metallicity Relations in Simulations with Feedback and Mergers

Lori E. Porter, Matthew E. Orr, Blakesley Burkhart +4

We present an analysis of spatially resolved gas-phase metallicity relations in five dwarf galaxies (, …

Formation of proto-globular cluster candidates in cosmological simulations of dwarf galaxies at

Omid Sameie, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Philip F. Hopkins +8

We perform cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to study the formation of proto-globular cluster candidates in progenitors of present-day dwarf galaxies $(M_{\rm vir} \approx 10…

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…
