Inside-out versus Upside-down: The Origin and Evolution of Metallicity Radial Gradients in FIRE Simulations of Milky Way-mass Galaxies and the Essential Role of Gas Mixing
Russell L. Graf, Andrew Wetzel, Jeremy Bailin +1
Within the Milky Way (MW), younger stellar populations exhibit steeper (more negative) metallicity radial gradients; the origin of this trend remains debated. The FIRE-2 cosmologic…
Strong Chemical Tagging in FIRE: Intra and Inter-Cluster Chemical Homogeneity in Open Clusters in Milky Way-like Galaxy Simulations
Binod Bhattarai, Sarah R. Loebman, Melissa K. Ness +4
Open star clusters are the essential building blocks of the Galactic disk; "strong chemical tagging" - the premise that all star clusters can be reconstructed given chemistry infor…
Efficient and accurate force replay in cosmological-baryonic simulations
Arpit Arora, Robyn Sanderson, Christopher Regan +8
We construct time-evolving gravitational potential models for a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the FIRE-2 suite of cosmological-baryonic simulations using basis function expansions. Th…
The imprint of dark matter on the Galactic acceleration field
Arpit Arora, Robyn E. Sanderson, Sukanya Chakrabarti +6
Measurements of the accelerations of stars enabled by time-series extreme-precision spectroscopic observations, from pulsar timing, and from eclipsing binary stars in the Solar Nei…
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…
