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,…
The Lumina Project: Intergalactic Clumping and Recombination Sinks
Ali Sadain, Aaron Smith, Oliver Zier +10
Recombinations during the Epoch of Reionization are intrinsically inhomogeneous, with different regions of the intergalactic medium contributing unevenly depending on their density…
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…
The Entangling of Supernova Feedback Impacts with Coarsening Simulation Resolution
Eric Zhang, Laura V. Sales, Thales A. Gutcke +11
It is often understood that supernova (SN) feedback in galaxies is responsible for regulating star formation (SF) and generating gaseous outflows. However, a detailed look at their…
The Lumina Project: The Demographics of Active Galactic Nuclei from Quasars to Little Red Dots at
Xuejian Shen, Oliver Zier, Aaron Smith +16
High-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) serve as powerful probes of early black-hole growth, galaxy formation, and the evolving intergalactic medium (IGM). In this work, we use…
