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…
Galaxies lacking dark matter produced by close encounters in a cosmological simulation
Jorge Moreno, Shany Danieli, James S. Bullock +18
The standard cold dark matter plus cosmological constant model predicts that galaxies form within dark-matter haloes, and that low-mass galaxies are more dark-matter dominated than…
The bursty origin of the Milky Way thick disc
Sijie Yu, James S. Bullock, Courtney Klein +11
We investigate thin and thick stellar disc formation in Milky-Way-mass galaxies using twelve FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. All simulated galaxies experience an early per…
First Co-spatial Comparison of Stellar, Neutral-, and Ionized-gas Metallicities in a metal-rich galaxy: M83
Svea Hernandez, Alessandra Aloisi, Bethan L. James +14
We carry out a comparative analysis of the metallicities from the stellar, neutral-gas, and ionized-gas components in the metal-rich spiral galaxy M83. We analyze spectroscopic obs…
The time-scales probed by star formation rate indicators for realistic, bursty star formation histories from the FIRE simulations
José A. Flores Velázquez, Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +10
Understanding the rate at which stars form is central to studies of galaxy formation. Observationally, the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies are measured using the luminosity…
Pressure balance in the multiphase ISM of cosmologically simulated disk galaxies
Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Alexander J. Richings +13
Pressure balance plays a central role in models of the interstellar medium (ISM), but whether and how pressure balance is realized in a realistic multiphase ISM is not yet well und…
