RIGEL: Ultra-faint dwarf galaxy diversity shaped by inhomogeneous cosmic reionization
Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Ewald Puchwein +7
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are among the smallest and oldest galaxies in the Universe and are widely regarded as relics of cosmic reionization. To investigate how reionizati…
The THESAN-ZOOM project: clumpiness of high-redshift galaxies and its connection to bursty star formation
Zihao Wang, Xuejian Shen, Rahul Kannan +12
Recent JWST observations have revealed diverse high-redshift galaxy morphologies, including a population with irregular and clumpy structures. The physical origin of these structur…
Neutrino mass constraints in interacting dark energy models after DESI DR2
Hui Li, Guo-Hong Du, Tian-Nuo Li +4
Recent DESI observations indicate a deviation from the CDM model, showing a preference for dynamical dark energy and thereby relaxing the upper limit on the neutrino mass within…
Individual Star Sampling in Star Formation Simulations: A Semi-Deterministic Model
Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Zhiqiang Yan +2
In modern simulations that include star formation, it is common to use a universal and invariant initial mass function (IMF) to represent star populations or sample individual star…
SMUGGLE-Ring: Evolutionary link between nuclear star cluster and nuclear disk
SungWon Kwak, Mathias Schultheis, Ivan Minchev +8
We present a high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of the formation and evolution of nuclear structures in a Milky Way-mass galaxy using the SMUGGLE model. The system naturally…
Probing the Hot Gaseous Halos of Milky Way-like Galaxies in the TNG50 simulation
Zhijie Zhang, Xiaoxia Zhang, Taotao Fang +9
The origin and structure of the hot (K) gaseous halo around Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies provide a critical test for galaxy formation models. We perform a comprehensi…
The SMUGGLE-Ring project: Bar and bulge effects on nuclear disk and ring formation
SungWon Kwak, Federico Marinacci, Matthias Steinmetz +8
We present the first results from the SMUGGLE-Ring project, a suite of simulations employing the SMUGGLE ISM and stellar feedback model to explore nuclear structures in Milky Way-m…
RIGEL: Feedback-regulated cloud-scale star formation efficiency in a simulated dwarf galaxy merger
Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Federico Marinacci +5
Major mergers of galaxies are likely to trigger bursty star formation activities. The accumulation of dense gas and the boost of star formation efficiency (SFE) are considered to b…
The Entangling of Supernova Feedback Impacts with Coarsening Simulation Resolution
Eric Zhang, Laura V. Sales, Thales A. Gutcke +11
It is often understood that supernova (SN) feedback in galaxies is responsible for regulating star formation (SF) and generating gaseous outflows. However, a detailed look at the s…
The THESAN-ZOOM project: Star formation efficiency from giant molecular clouds to galactic scale in high-redshift starbursts
Zihao Wang, Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger +12
Star formation in galaxies is inherently complex, involving the interplay of physical processes over a hierarchy of spatial scales. In this work, we investigate the connection betw…
Understanding the Baryon Cycle: Fueling Star Formation via Inflows in Milky Way-like Galaxies
Filippo Barbani, Raffaele Pascale, Federico Marinacci +4
Galaxies are not isolated systems; they continuously interact with their surroundings by ejecting gas via stellar feedback and accreting gas from the environment. Understanding the…
The life cycle of giant molecular clouds in simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies
Yang Ni, Hui Li, Mark Vogelsberger +3
In this work, we trace the complete life cycle of individual GMCs in high-resolution Milky Way-mass galaxy simulations to determine how different stellar feedback mechanisms and ga…
Bursty Star Formation in Dwarfs is Sensitive to Numerical Choices in Supernova Feedback Models
Eric Zhang, Laura V. Sales, Federico Marinacci +6
Simulations of galaxy formation are mostly unable to resolve the energy-conserving phase of individual supernova events, having to resort to subgrid models to distribute the energy…
RIGEL: Simulating dwarf galaxies at solar mass resolution with radiative transfer and feedback from individual massive stars
Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Boyuan Liu +3
We introduce the RIGEL model, a novel framework to self-consistently model the effects of stellar feedback in the multiphase ISM of dwarf galaxies with radiative transfer (RT) on a…
Evolution and distribution of superbubbles in simulated Milky Way-like galaxies
Chengzhe Li, Hui Li, Wei Cui +4
Stellar feedback plays a crucial role in regulating baryon cycles of a galactic ecosystem, and may manifest itself in the formation of superbubbles in the interstellar medium. In t…
The nature of diffuse ionised gas in star-forming galaxies
William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella, Aaron Smith +6
We present an analysis of the diffuse ionised gas (DIG) in a high-resolution simulation of an isolated Milky Way-like galaxy, incorporating on-the-fly radiative transfer and non-eq…
Low- and High-velocity \ion{O}{6} in Milky Way-like Galaxies: the Role of Stellar Feedback
Zhijie Zhang, Xiaoxia Zhang, Hui Li +7
Milky Way-type galaxies are surrounded by a warm-hot gaseous halo containing a considerable amount of baryons and metals. The kinematics and spatial distribution of highly-ionized…
