The HI covering fraction of Lyman Limit Systems in FIRE haloes

Lucas Tortora, Robert Feldmann, Mauro Bernardini +1

Atomic hydrogen (HI) serves a crucial role in connecting galactic-scale properties such as star formation with the large-scale structure of the Universe. While recent numerical sim…

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…

Stellar feedback strongly alters the amplification and morphology of galactic magnetic fields

Kung-Yi Su, Christopher C. Hayward, Philip F. Hopkins +3

Using high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic simulations of idealized, non-cosmological galaxies, we investigate how cooling, star formation, and stellar feedback affect galactic magn…

Low-Redshift Lyman Limit Systems as Diagnostics of Cosmological Inflows and Outflows

Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +6

We use cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with stellar feedback from the FIRE project to study the physical nature of Lyman limit systems (LLSs) at z<1. At these low redshifts,…

40 Years of Pulsars: The Birth and Evolution of Isolated Radio Pulsars

C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, V. M. Kaspi

We investigate the birth and evolution of isolated radio pulsars using a population synthesis method, modeling the birth properties of the pulsars, their time evolution, and their…
