Radial redistribution of stellar orbits in FIRE simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies
Matthew A. Bellardini, Fiona McCluskey, Andrew Wetzel +3
A central question in galactic dynamics and galactic archeology is: how much do the orbits of stars redistribute (migrate) after birth? We use the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simul…
Spatial Variations of Stellar Elemental Abundances in FIRE Simulations of Milky Way-Mass Galaxies: Patterns Today Mostly Reflect Those at Formation
Russell L. Graf, Andrew Wetzel, Matthew A. Bellardini +1
Spatial patterns of stellar elemental abundances encode rich information about a galaxy's formation history. We analyze the radial, vertical, and azimuthal variations of metals in…
The relationship between age, metallicity, and abundances for disk stars in a simulated Milky Way galaxy
Andreia Carrillo, Melissa K. Ness, Keith Hawkins +4
Observations of the Milky Way's low- disk show that at fixed metallicity, [Fe/H], several element abundance, [X/Fe], correlate with age, with unique slopes and small scatters ar…
3D elemental abundances of stars at formation across the histories of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE simulations
Matthew A. Bellardini, Andrew Wetzel, Sarah R. Loebman +1
We characterize the 3-D spatial variations of [Fe/H], [Mg/H], and [Mg/Fe] in stars at the time of their formation, across 11 simulated Milky Way (MW)- and M31-mass galaxies in the…
3-D gas-phase elemental abundances across the formation histories of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE simulations: initial conditions for chemical tagging
Matthew A. Bellardini, Andrew Wetzel, Sarah R. Loebman +3
We use FIRE-2 simulations to examine 3-D variations of gas-phase elemental abundances of [O/H], [Fe/H], and [N/H] in 11 Milky Way (MW) and M31-mass galaxies across their formation…
Live Fast, Die Young: GMC lifetimes in the FIRE cosmological simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Samantha M. Benincasa, Sarah R. Loebman, Andrew Wetzel +6
We present the first measurement of the lifetimes of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in cosmological simulations at , using the Latte suite of FIRE-2 simulations of Milky Way-…
