Effects of Varied Cosmic Ray Feedback from AGN on Massive Galaxy Properties

Charvi Goyal, Sam B. Ponnada, Philip F. Hopkins +3

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) provide energetic feedback necessary to `turn off' star formation in high-mass galaxies (M 10 M, $10.4 \leq \log(…

The role of galactic winds fueling central starbursts and quasars in the FIRE cosmological simulations

Jonathan Mercedes-Feliz, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Boon Kiat Oh +7

Central starbursts and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are thought to be fueled by either galaxy interactions or secular processes in gravitationally unstable discs. We employ cosmolo…

The Nature of Post-Starburst Galaxies: Real Deal or Masquerading Impostors?

Elia Cenci, Robert Feldmann, Sarah Wellons +7

Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are a population of galaxies with spectral and photometric features indicative of rapid quenching following a recent starburst. The origin and nature…

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…

Zooming In On The Multi-Phase Structure of Magnetically-Dominated Quasar Disks: Radiation From Torus to ISCO Across Accretion Rates

Philip F. Hopkins, Kung-Yi Su, Norman Murray +12

Recent radiation-thermochemical-magnetohydrodynamic simulations resolved formation of quasar accretion disks from cosmological scales down to ~300 gravitational radii , argu…
