Dense stellar clump formation driven by strong quasar winds in the FIRE cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
Jonathan Mercedes-Feliz, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Boon Kiat Oh +9
We investigate the formation of dense stellar clumps in a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a massive, star forming galaxy at under the presen…
Effects of multi-channel AGN feedback in FIRE cosmological simulations of massive galaxies
Lindsey Byrne, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Sarah Wellons +6
Feedback from supermassive black holes is believed to be a critical driver of the observed color bimodality of galaxies above the Milky Way mass scale. AGN feedback has been modele…
An Analytic Model For Magnetically-Dominated Accretion Disks
Philip F. Hopkins, Jonathan Squire, Eliot Quataert +6
Recent numerical cosmological radiation-magnetohydrodynamic-thermochemical-star formation simulations have resolved the formation of quasar accretion disks with Eddington or super-…
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…
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…
The First Quiescent Galaxies in TNG300
Abigail I. Hartley, Erica J. Nelson, Katherine A. Suess +12
We identify the first quiescent galaxies in TNG300, the largest volume of the IllustrisTNG cosmological simulation suite, and explore their quenching processes and time evolution t…
The impact of AGN-driven winds on physical and observable galaxy sizes
R. K. Cochrane, D. Anglés-Alcázar, J. Mercedes-Feliz +9
Without AGN feedback, simulated massive, star-forming galaxies become too compact relative to observed galaxies at z<2. In this paper, we perform high-resolution re-simulations of…
Local positive feedback in the overall negative: the impact of quasar winds on star formation in the FIRE cosmological simulations
Jonathan Mercedes-Feliz, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Christopher C. Hayward +10
Negative feedback from accreting supermassive black holes is regarded as a key ingredient in suppressing star formation and quenching massive galaxies. However, several models and…
