FORGE'd in Fragments: Pop III star formation in a Milky Way-like progenitor halo
Vasilii Pustovoit, Shivan Khullar, Norman Murray +5
We present a radiation-magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) cosmological zoom-in simulation of Pop III star formation, drawing initial conditions from a Milky Way-like progenitor halo at red…
FORGE'd In The Early Universe II: Constraining The Pop III Initial Mass Function
Yasmine J. Meziani, Philip F. Hopkins, Pratik J. Gandhi +4
We present a cosmological radiation-magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) zoom-in simulation of Population III stars using FORGE'd in FIRE. Our simulation combines a cosmological initia…
The impact of Population III stars on the elemental enrichment of ultra-faint galaxies in the FIRE-3 zoom-in simulations
Pratik J. Gandhi, Earl P. Bellinger, Marla Geha +7
The observed stellar mass-metallicity relation for ultra-faint galaxies in the Local Group (LG) is in tension with many theoretical predictions, suggesting the need for modified or…
The Impact of Simulation Resolution on Dwarf Galaxy Stellar Stream Populations in FIRE
Yasmine J. Meziani, Nondh Panithanpaisal, Robyn E. Sanderson +4
Cosmological simulations allow us to study galaxy-progenitor stream populations, allowing comparisons with observations to constrain galaxy formation physics. Previous work found t…
