Ergodicity of FIRE: star formation variations within and between simulated galaxies

Fraser M. Smith, Robert J. Thacker

We investigate the ergodicity of star formation in simulated galaxies from the FIRE-2 (Feedback In Realistic Environments) project. We restrict ergodicity considerations to being r…

Examining partial ergodicity as a predictor of star formation departures from the galactic main sequence in isolated galaxies

Fraser M. Smith, Robert J. Thacker

Lacking the ability to follow individual galaxies on cosmological timescales, our understanding of individual galaxy evolution is broadly inferred from population trends and behavi…

Comparing Simulations of AGN Feedback

Mark L. A. Richardson, Evan Scannapieco, Julien Devriendt +5

We perform adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) cosmological zoom simulations of a region around a forming galaxy cluster, comparing the ability…

nIFTy Galaxy Cluster simulations IV: Quantifying the Influence of Baryons on Halo Properties

Weiguang Cui, Chris Power, Alexander Knebe +21

Building on the initial results of the nIFTy simulated galaxy cluster comparison, we compare and contrast the impact of baryonic physics with a single massive galaxy cluster, run w…

"Observing and Analyzing" Images From a Simulated High Redshift Universe

Robert J. Morgan, Rogier A. Windhorst, Evan Scannapieco +1

We investigate the high-redshift evolution of the restframe UV-luminosity function (LF) of galaxies via hydrodynamical cosmological simulations, coupled with an emulated observatio…

nIFTy galaxy cluster simulations I: dark matter & non-radiative models

Federico Sembolini, Gustavo Yepes, Frazer R. Pearce +24

We have simulated the formation of a galaxy cluster in a CDM universe using twelve different codes modeling only gravity and non-radiative hydrodynamics (\art, \arepo, \hydra\ a…
