Radiative Stellar Feedback in Galaxy Formation: Methods and Physics

Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Y. Grudic, Andrew R. Wetzel +5

Radiative feedback (RFB) from stars plays a key role in galaxies, but remains poorly-understood. We explore this using high-resolution, multi-frequency radiation-hydrodynamics (RHD…

The Origins of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations

Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +10

We use a particle tracking analysis to study the origins of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), separating it into (1) accretion from the intergalactic medium (IGM), (2) wind from the…

Size-Luminosity Scaling Relations of Local and Distant Star Forming Regions

Maren Cosens, Shelley A. Wright, Etsuko Mieda +8

We investigate star forming scaling relations using Bayesian inference on a comprehensive data sample of low- (z<0.1) and high-redshift (1<z<5) star forming regions. This full data…

On The Nature of Variations in the Measured Star Formation Efficiency of Molecular Clouds

Michael Y. Grudić, Philip F. Hopkins, Eve J. Lee +3

Measurements of the star formation efficiency (SFE) of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the Milky Way generally show a large scatter, which could be intrinsic or observational. We…

Cross-correlating Carbon Monoxide Line-intensity Maps with Spectroscopic and Photometric Galaxy Surveys

Dongwoo T. Chung, Marco P. Viero, Sarah E. Church +15

Line-intensity mapping (LIM or IM) is an emerging field of observational work, with strong potential to fit into a larger effort to probe large-scale structure and small-scale astr…

Gemini Infrared Multi-Object Spectrograph: Instrument Overview

Suresh Sivanandam, Scott Chapman, Luc Simard +27

The Gemini Infrared Multi-Object Spectrograph (GIRMOS) is a powerful new instrument being built to facility-class standards for the Gemini telescope. It takes advantage of the late…
