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…

Virialization of the inner CGM in the FIRE simulations and implications for galaxy discs, star formation and feedback

Jonathan Stern, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Drummond Fielding +13

We use the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations to study the formation of a quasi-static, virial-temperature gas phase in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) at redshifts 0<z<5, and how the…

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…
