The Galactic Dust-Up: Modeling Dust Evolution in FIRE
Caleb R. Choban, Dusan Keres, Philip F. Hopkins +3
Recent strides have been made developing dust evolution models for galaxy formation simulations but these approaches vary in their assumptions and degree of complexity. Here we int…
The origin of ultra diffuse galaxies: stellar feedback and quenching
T. K. Chan, D. Kereš, A. Wetzel +5
We test if the cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated galaxies from the FIRE project reproduce the properties of ultra diffuse galaxies. We show that stellar feedback-generat…
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…
Modelling chemical abundance distributions for dwarf galaxies in the Local Group: the impact of turbulent metal diffusion
Ivanna Escala, Andrew Wetzel, Evan N. Kirby +6
We investigate stellar metallicity distribution functions (MDFs), including Fe and -element abundances, in dwarf galaxies from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) proj…
Simulating galaxies in the reionization era with FIRE-2: morphologies and sizes
Xiangcheng Ma, Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +7
We study the morphologies and sizes of galaxies at z>5 using high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations from the Feedback In Realistic Environments project. The galaxies show…
Simulating galaxies in the reionization era with FIRE-2: galaxy scaling relations, stellar mass functions, and luminosity functions
Xiangcheng Ma, Philip F. Hopkins, Shea Garrison-Kimmel +6
We present a suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations at z>5 from the Feedback In Realistic Environments project, spanning a halo mass range M_halo~10^8-10^12 M_sun at z=5. We pre…
