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…

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…

Neutral hydrogen in galaxy halos at the peak of the cosmic star formation history

C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, P. F. Hopkins, D. Keres +3

We use high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project to make predictions for the covering fractions of neutral hydrogen around galaxies at z=2-4. These sim…

Observational Signatures of Galactic Winds Powered by Active Galactic Nuclei

Jesse Nims, Eliot Quataert, Claude-Andre Faucher-Giguere

We predict the observational signatures of galaxy scale outflows powered by active galactic nuclei (AGN). Most of the emission is produced by the forward shock driven into the ambi…

Galactic r-process enrichment by neutron star mergers in cosmological simulations of a Milky Way-mass galaxy

Freeke van de Voort, Eliot Quataert, Philip F. Hopkins +2

We quantify the stellar abundances of neutron-rich r-process nuclei in cosmological zoom-in simulations of a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the Feedback In Realistic Environments proje…

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…
