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,…
