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…

The time-scales probed by star formation rate indicators for realistic, bursty star formation histories from the FIRE simulations
José A. Flores Velázquez, Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +10
Understanding the rate at which stars form is central to studies of galaxy formation. Observationally, the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies are measured using the luminosity…
