Hot-mode accretion and the physics of thin-disk galaxy formation
Zachary Hafen, Jonathan Stern, James Bullock +16
We use FIRE simulations to study disk formation in z~0, Milky Way-mass galaxies, and conclude that a key ingredient for the formation of thin stellar disks is the ability for accre…

A Relationship Between Stellar Metallicity Gradients and Galaxy Age in Dwarf Galaxies
Francisco J. Mercado, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +7
We explore the origin of stellar metallicity gradients in simulated and observed dwarf galaxies. We use FIRE-2 cosmological baryonic zoom-in simulations of 26 isolated galaxies as…
