Strongly Time-Variable Ultra-Violet Metal Line Emission from the Circum-Galactic Medium of High-Redshift Galaxies

N. Sravan, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, F. van de Voort +6

We use cosmological simulations from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, which implement a comprehensive set of stellar feedback processes, to study ultra-violet…

Collapse in Self-gravitating Turbulent Fluids

Daniel W. Murray, Philip Chang, Norman W. Murray +1

Motivated by the nonlinear star formation efficiency found in recent numerical simulations by a number of workers, we perform high-resolution adaptive mesh refinement simulations o…

Entrainment in Trouble: Cool Cloud Acceleration and Destruction in Hot Supernova-Driven Galactic Winds

Dong Zhang, Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert +1

Efficient thermalization of overlapping supernovae within star-forming galaxies may produce a supernova-heated fluid that drives galactic winds. For fiducial assumptions about the…

Stellar and Quasar Feedback in Concert: Effects on AGN Accretion, Obscuration, and Outflows

Philip F. Hopkins, Paul Torrey, Claude-Andre Faucher-Giguere +2

We study the interaction of feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) and a multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM), in simulations including explicit stellar feedback, multi-phase…

The Difficulty of Getting High Escape Fractions of Ionizing Photons from High-redshift Galaxies: a View from the FIRE Cosmological Simulations

Xiangcheng Ma, Daniel Kasen, Philip F. Hopkins +4

We present a series of high-resolution (20-2000 Msun, 0.1-4 pc) cosmological zoom-in simulations at z~6 from the Feedback In Realistic Environment (FIRE) project. These simulations…

Forged in FIRE: cusps, cores, and baryons in low-mass dwarf galaxies

Jose Oñorbe, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, James S. Bullock +5

We present ultra-high resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of dwarf galaxies that form within dark matter ha…
