Shock-heated Away: The Impact of Radiative Cooling on Gas-Phase Transitions in Supernova Remnants
Zuzanna Kocjan, Benedikt Diemer, Vadim A. Semenov +2
Supernova (SN) feedback plays a central role in regulating the structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) through the injection of energy and momentum. The amount of hot gas produc…
The Rhythm of the ISM: Tracing the Timescales of Gas Evolution and Star Formation across Galactic Environments
Zuzanna Kocjan, Vadim A. Semenov
We investigate the physical origin of the star formation scaling relations between the gas depletion time, the star-forming gas mass fraction, and the gas surface density, $Σ_{\rm…
Picture an Astronomer: Best Practices for Retaining Talent in Astrophysics
Ava Polzin, Katherine E. Whitaker, C. Megan Urry +85
Women are consistently underrepresented in astrophysics yet are simultaneously subject to disproportionate attrition at every career stage. This disparity between demonstrated effi…
Hot gas accretion fuels star formation faster than cold accretion in high redshift galaxies
Zuzanna Kocjan, Corentin Cadiou, Oscar Agertz +1
We use high-resolution ( 35pc) hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation to investigate the relation between gas accretion and star formation in galaxies hosted by dar…
