The THESAN-ZOOM project: clumpiness of high-redshift galaxies and its connection to bursty star formation
Zihao Wang, Xuejian Shen, Rahul Kannan +12
Recent JWST observations have revealed diverse high-redshift galaxy morphologies, including a population with irregular and clumpy structures. The physical origin of these structur…
Predicting ionised gas emission in 3D with SKIRT. I. Framework and validation
Anand Utsav Kapoor, Maarten Baes, Aaron Smith +7
Emission lines from ionised gas are key diagnostics of star formation, metallicity, and ionisation conditions in galaxies. Interpreting spatially resolved observations from integra…
The Thesan-Zoom project: bursty star formation is incompatible with prolonged dust survival
Enrico Garaldi, Filip Popovic, Rahul Kannan +11
Cosmic dust is a key regulator of galaxy evolution, but its build-up and survival in the first billion years remain poorly constrained. We present a systematic analysis of dust in…
Globular cluster abundance patterns inherited from giant molecular clouds
William McClymont, Vasily Belokurov, Sandro Tacchella +16
Globular clusters exhibit large star-to-star variations and anticorrelations in their light element abundances that are commonly interpreted in terms of in-cluster self-enrichment,…
From THESAN-ZOOM to JWST: Predicting ionizing photon escape and the rise of UV-bright reionization sources
Zebedee Summerfield, William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella +14
Understanding the sources and evolution of cosmic reionization remains a central challenge in astrophysics, with the escape of ionizing Lyman-continuum (LyC) photons from early gal…
JADES: the mass-metallicity relation at . New calibrations, extremely metal-poor galaxies, and chemical diversity
Yuki Isobe, Mirko Curti, Roberto Maiolino +28
We present gas-phase metallicities of star-forming galaxies at -10 with deep JWST/NIRSpec spectra from the JADES full data release, Dark Horse, and OASIS programmes. We stack…
