Stars made in outflows may populate the stellar halo of the Milky Way
Sijie Yu, James S. Bullock, Andrew Wetzel +8
We study stellar-halo formation using six Milky Way-mass galaxies in FIRE-2 cosmological zoom simulations. We find that of the outer ( kpc) stellar halo in each sy…
A general-purpose timestep criterion for simulations with gravity
Michael Y. Grudić, Philip F. Hopkins
We describe a new adaptive timestep criterion for integrating gravitational motion, which uses the tidal tensor to estimate the local dynamical timescale and scales the timestep pr…
Evolution of giant molecular clouds across cosmic time
David Guszejnov, Michael Y. Grudić, Stella S. R. Offner +5
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are well-studied in the local Universe, however, exactly how their properties vary during galaxy evolution is poorly understood due to challenging res…
Self-consistent proto-globular cluster formation in cosmological simulations of high-redshift galaxies
Xiangcheng Ma, Michael Y. Grudić, Eliot Quataert +7
We report the formation of bound star clusters in a sample of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of z>5 galaxies from the FIRE project. We find that bound clusters pr…
