Great Balls of FIRE III: Modeling Black Hole Mergers from Massive Star Clusters in Simulations of Galaxies
Tristan Bruel, Carl L. Rodriguez, Astrid Lamberts +3
After the nearly hundred gravitational-wave detections reported by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, the question of the cosmological origin of merging binary black holes (BBHs)…
Near-Infrared Observations of Outflows and YSOs in the Massive Star-Forming Region AFGL 5180
S. Crowe, R. Fedriani, J. C. Tan +30
Methods: Broad- and narrow-band imaging of AFGL 5180 was made in the NIR with the LBT, in both seeing-limited ($\sim0.5\arcsec$) and high angular resolution ($\sim0.09\arcsec$) Ada…
Co-Evolution of Stars and Gas: Using Analysis of Synthetic Observations to Investigate the Star-Gas Correlation in STARFORGE
Samuel Millstone, Robert Gutermuth, Stella S. R. Offner +2
We explore the relationship between stellar surface density and gas surface density (the star-gas or S-G correlation) in a 20,000 M simulation from the STAR FORmation in…
FORGE'd in FIRE II: The Formation of Magnetically-Dominated Quasar Accretion Disks from Cosmological Initial Conditions
Philip F. Hopkins, Jonathan Squire, Kung-Yi Su +9
In a companion paper, we reported the self-consistent formation of quasar accretion disks with inflow rates down to <300 Schwarzschild radii fro…
Stellar Populations in STARFORGE: The Origin and Evolution of Star Clusters and Associations
Juan P. Farias, Stella S. R. Offner, Michael Y. Grudić +2
Most stars form in highly clustered environments within molecular clouds, but eventually disperse into the distributed stellar field population. Exactly how the stellar distributio…
Predicting the Radiation Field of Molecular Clouds using Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models
Duo Xu, Stella Offner, Robert Gutermuth +3
Accurately quantifying the impact of radiation feedback in star formation is challenging. To address this complex problem, we employ deep learning techniques, denoising diffusion p…
FORGE'd in FIRE: Resolving the End of Star Formation and Structure of AGN Accretion Disks from Cosmological Initial Conditions
Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Y. Grudic, Kung-Yi Su +8
It has recently become possible to zoom-in from cosmological to sub-pc scales in galaxy simulations to follow accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). However, at some poin…
What Causes The Formation of Disks and End of Bursty Star Formation?
Philip F. Hopkins, Alexander B. Gurvich, Xuejian Shen +17
As they grow, galaxies can transition from irregular/spheroidal with 'bursty' star formation histories (SFHs), to disky with smooth SFHs. But even in simulations, the direct physic…
