Resolving galaxy formation in the early Universe with BonFIRE and CampFIRE

Jenna Samuel, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Robert Feldmann +16

The abundance and rapid growth of galaxies at cosmic dawn revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope challenges models of galaxy formation, motivating new simulations to uncover th…

Beyond Cloud-9: The case for discovering more HI-rich failed halos

Jorge Moreno, Coral Wheeler, Francisco J. Mercado +8

HI-rich starless halos, should they exist, hold great promise for elucidating dark matter halo structure. Yet realizing this potential demands reliable theoretical predictions for…

FORGE'd in the Early Universe: The Effect of Protostellar Outflows on Pop III Accretion

Yasmine J. Meziani, Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Y. Grudić +3

We present a cosmological zoom-in radiation magneto-hydrodynamic (RMHD) simulation, using FORGE'd in FIRE, that follows the formation, growth, and evolution of a single metal-free…

Igniting galaxy formation in the post-reionization universe

Jorge Moreno, Coral Wheeler, Francisco J. Mercado +9

It is widely believed that the ultraviolet background produced during the epoch of reionization conspires against the formation of low-mass galaxies. Indeed, this mechanism is ofte…

Further correction to the STARFORGE methods paper: Planck-mean dust opacities

Michael Y. Grudić, Dávid Guszejnov, Philip F. Hopkins +2

The model for the Planck-mean dust opacity given in Appendix C of the STARFORGE simulations methods paper does not extrapolate well to low radiation temperature $T_{\rm rad…

Bridging scales: How much do supermassive black holes grow in the suppressed Bondi regime?

Kung-Yi Su, Angelo Ricarte, Priyamvada Natarajan +6

The co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies remains one of the central open questions in cosmology, rooted in the coupling between accretion, feedb…
