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…
Hierarchical assembly impedes the inference of stellar mass growth histories for individual galaxies
R. K. Cochrane
Some massive, quiescent galaxies at z>3 appear to contain considerable numbers of old stars (forming at z>7). Works inferring the star formation histories of at least one such gala…
The Connection between Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies and the First Massive Quenched Galaxies
Pablo Araya-Araya, Rachel K. Cochrane, Laerte Sodré +6
High-redshift (z > 2) massive quiescent (MQ) galaxies provide an opportunity to probe the key physical processes driving the fuelling and quenching of star formation in the early U…
Evolution of galaxy attenuation curves driven by evolving dust mass and grain size distributions
Kosei Matsumoto, Laura Sommovigo, Andrea Gebek +8
We investigate the impacts of the evolution of dust mass and grain size distribution within a Milky Way-like (MW-like) galaxy simulation on global attenuation curves, focusing on t…
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…
Simultaneously Modelling Dusty Star Forming Galaxies and Massive Quiescents: A Calibration Framework for Galaxy Formation Models
Pablo Araya-Araya, Rachel K. Cochrane, Christopher C. Hayward +4
Galaxy formation models, particularly semi-analytic models (SAMs), rely on differential equations with free parameters to describe the physical mechanisms governing galaxy formatio…
Learning the Universe: physically-motivated priors for dust attenuation curves
Laura Sommovigo, Rachel K. Cochrane, Rachel S. Somerville +9
Understanding the impact of dust on the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies is crucial for inferring their physical properties and for studying the nature of interstel…
Behind the dust veil: A panchromatic view of an optically dark galaxy at z=4.82
Nikolaj B. Sillassen, Shuowen Jin, Georgios E. Magdis +30
Optically dark dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) play an essential role in massive galaxy formation at early cosmic time, however their nature remains elusive. Here we present a…
Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers: How AGN Feedback and Cosmic-Ray Transport shape the Far Infrared-Radio Correlation of Galaxies
Sam B. Ponnada, Rachel K. Cochrane, Philip F. Hopkins +7
The far-infrared (FIR) - radio correlation (FRC) is one of the most promising empirical constraints on the role of cosmic-rays (CRs) and magnetic fields (\textbf{B}) in galaxy form…
Modelling the multi-wavelength detection of protoclusters. I: An excess of submillimetre galaxies in protocluster cores
Pablo Araya-Araya, Rachel K. Cochrane, Christopher C. Hayward +6
Studies of galaxy protoclusters yield insights into galaxy cluster formation complementary to those obtained via `archaeological' studies of present-day galaxy clusters. Submillime…
Host-galaxy stars can dominate the ionizing radiation field of the circumgalactic medium in galaxies at Cosmic Noon
Francisco Holguin, Christopher C. Hayward, Xiangcheng Ma +2
Elucidating the processes that shape the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is crucial for understanding galaxy evolution. Absorption and emission diagnostics can be interpreted using pho…
Size-Mass Relations for Simulated Low-Mass Galaxies: Mock Imaging versus Intrinsic Properties
Courtney Klein, James S. Bullock, Jorge Moreno +4
The observationally-inferred size versus stellar-mass relationship (SMR) for low-mass galaxies provides an important test for galaxy formation models. However, the relationship rel…
Dense stellar clump formation driven by strong quasar winds in the FIRE cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
Jonathan Mercedes-Feliz, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Boon Kiat Oh +9
We investigate the formation of dense stellar clumps in a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a massive, star forming galaxy at under the presen…
Realistic mock observations of the sizes and stellar mass surface densities of massive galaxies in FIRE-2 zoom-in simulations
Tyler Parsotan, Rachel Cochrane, Chris Hayward +5
The galaxy size-stellar mass and central surface density-stellar mass relationships are observational constraints on galaxy formation models. However, inferring the physical size o…
