Silicate cosmic dust grain collisions in the interstellar medium: A molecular dynamics study

C. J. Esmerian, S. R. Hashemi, W. M. C. Sameera +7

(abridged) We aim to predict the most important parameters for grain-grain collision outcomes in models of interstellar grain population evolution: the threshold velocities for sha…

Modeling Dust Production, Growth, and Destruction in Reionization-Era Galaxies with the CROC Simulations II: Predicting the Dust Content of High-Redshift Galaxies

Clarke J. Esmerian, Nickolay Y. Gnedin

We model the interstellar dust content of the reionization era with a suite of cosmological, fluid-dynamical simulations of galaxies with stellar masses ranging from $\sim 10^5 - 1…

Modeling Dust Production, Growth, and Destruction in Reionization-Era Galaxies with the CROC Simulations: Methods and Parameter Exploration

Clarke J. Esmerian, Nickolay Y. Gnedin

We introduce a model for the explicit evolution of interstellar dust in a cosmological galaxy formation simulation. We post-process a simulation from the Cosmic Reionization on Com…

Colour and infall time distributions of satellite galaxies in simulated Milky-Way analogs

Yue Pan, Christine M. Simpson, Andrey Kravtsov +6

We use the Auriga simulations to probe different satellite quenching mechanisms operating at different mass scales () in Mil…

Thermal Instability in the CGM of Galaxies: Testing "Precipitation" Models with the FIRE Simulations

Clarke J. Esmerian, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Zachary Hafen +5

We examine the thermodynamic state and cooling of the low- Circum-Galactic Medium (CGM) in five FIRE-2 galaxy formation simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies. We find that the…

The Fates of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations

Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +7

We analyze the different fates of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in FIRE-2 cosmological simulations, focusing on the redshifts z=0.25 and z=2 representative of recent surveys. Our…

The Effect of Warm Dark Matter on Early Star Formation Histories of Massive Galaxies: Predictions from the CROC Simulations

Clarke J. Esmerian, Nickolay Y. Gnedin

Several massive (), high-redshift () galaxies have recently been discovered to contain stars with ages of several hundred million years, pushing t…

The Origins of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations

Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +10

We use a particle tracking analysis to study the origins of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), separating it into (1) accretion from the intergalactic medium (IGM), (2) wind from the…

Coronal Properties of the Seyfert 1.9 Galaxy MCG -05-23-016 Determined from Hard X-ray Spectroscopy with NuSTAR

M. Baloković, G. Matt, F. A. Harrison +15

Measurements of the high-energy cut-off in the coronal continuum of active galactic nuclei have long been elusive for all but a small number of the brightest examples. We present a…
