FORGE'd in Fragments: Pop III star formation in a Milky Way-like progenitor halo

Vasilii Pustovoit, Shivan Khullar, Norman Murray +5

We present a radiation-magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) cosmological zoom-in simulation of Pop III star formation, drawing initial conditions from a Milky Way-like progenitor halo at red…

FORGE'd In The Early Universe II: Constraining The Pop III Initial Mass Function

Yasmine J. Meziani, Philip F. Hopkins, Pratik J. Gandhi +4

We present a cosmological radiation-magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) zoom-in simulation of Population III stars using FORGE'd in FIRE. Our simulation combines a cosmological initia…

The impact of Population III stars on the elemental enrichment of ultra-faint galaxies in the FIRE-3 zoom-in simulations

Pratik J. Gandhi, Earl P. Bellinger, Marla Geha +7

The observed stellar mass-metallicity relation for ultra-faint galaxies in the Local Group (LG) is in tension with many theoretical predictions, suggesting the need for modified or…

The Impact of Simulation Resolution on Dwarf Galaxy Stellar Stream Populations in FIRE

Yasmine J. Meziani, Nondh Panithanpaisal, Robyn E. Sanderson +4

Cosmological simulations allow us to study galaxy-progenitor stream populations, allowing comparisons with observations to constrain galaxy formation physics. Previous work found t…

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…
