Galactic Scale Feedback Observed in the 3C 298 Quasar Host Galaxy
Andrey Vayner, Shelley A. Wright, Norman Murray +3
We present high angular resolution multi-wavelength data of the 3C 298 radio-loud quasar host galaxy (z=1.439) taken using the W.M. Keck Observatory OSIRIS integral field spectrogr…
From the Top Down and Back Up Again: Star Cluster Structure from Hierarchical Star Formation
Michael Y. Grudić, Dávid Guszejnov, Philip F. Hopkins +4
Young massive star clusters spanning in mass have been observed to have similar surface brightness profiles. Recent hydrodynamical simulations of star cl…
Gas Content and Kinematics in Clumpy, Turbulent Star-forming Disks
Heidi A. White, David B. Fisher, Norman Murray +6
We present molecular gas mass estimates for a sample of 13 local galaxies whose kinematic and star forming properties closely resemble those observed in main-sequenc…
How To Model Supernovae in Simulations of Star and Galaxy Formation
Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel, Dusan Keres +6
We study the implementation of mechanical feedback from supernovae (SNe) and stellar mass loss in galaxy simulations, within the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project.…
FIRE-2 Simulations: Physics versus Numerics in Galaxy Formation
Philip F Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel, Dusan Keres +25
The Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project explores feedback in cosmological galaxy formation simulations. Previous FIRE simulations used an identical source code (FIRE-…
What FIREs Up Star Formation: the Emergence of the Kennicutt-Schmidt Law from Feedback
Matthew E. Orr, Christopher C. Hayward, Philip Hopkins +6
We present an analysis of the global and spatially-resolved Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) star formation relation in the FIRE (Feedback In Realistic Environments) suite of cosmological si…
