Second public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation
Andrew Wetzel, Jenna Samuel, Pratik J. Gandhi +34
We describe the second data release (DR2) of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation, from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, available…
Orientations of DM Halos in FIRE-2 Milky Way-mass Galaxies
Jay Baptista, Robyn Sanderson, Dan Huber +11
The shape and orientation of dark matter (DM) halos are sensitive to the micro-physics of the DM particle, yet in many mass models, the symmetry axes of the Milky Way's DM halo are…
Dwarf galaxy formation with and without dark matter-baryon streaming velocities
Anna T. P. Schauer, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Katelyn Colston +4
We study how supersonic streaming velocities of baryons relative to dark matter -- a large-scale effect imprinted at recombination and coherent over Mpc scales -- affects…
Comparing Implementations of Self-Interacting Dark Matter in the Gizmo and Arepo Codes
Helen Meskhidze, Francisco J. Mercado, Omid Sameie +4
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models have received great attention over the past decade as solutions to the small-scale puzzles of astrophysics. Though there are different im…
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…
