Enhanced Multiphase Circumgalactic Medium and Gas Cycling in Galaxy Mergers
Maolan Yang, Suoqing Ji, Robert Feldmann +9
We investigate the impact of galaxy mergers on the circumgalactic medium (CGM) using the FIREbox cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. By comparing matched samples of merging and i…
Igniting galaxy formation in the post-reionization universe
Jorge Moreno, Coral Wheeler, Francisco J. Mercado +9
It is widely believed that the ultraviolet background produced during the epoch of reionization conspires against the formation of low-mass galaxies. Indeed, this mechanism is ofte…
The quenched fraction of satellites around simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies
Francisco J. Mercado, Devontae C. Baxter, M. Katy Rodriguez Wimberly +7
We compare satellite quenched fractions across three cosmological simulation suites (FIREbox, the FIRE-2 zoom-ins, and IllustrisTNG50) and observational datasets from SAGA, ELVES,…
The Nature of Post-Starburst Galaxies: Real Deal or Masquerading Impostors?
Elia Cenci, Robert Feldmann, Sarah Wellons +7
Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are a population of galaxies with spectral and photometric features indicative of rapid quenching following a recent starburst. The origin and nature…
Great Balls of FIRE IV. The contribution of massive star clusters to the astrophysical population of merging binary black holes
Tristan Bruel, Astrid Lamberts, Carl L. Rodriguez +3
The detection of over a hundred gravitational wave signals from double compacts objects have confirmed the existence of such binaries with tight orbits. Two main formation channels…
Inflow and outflow properties, not total gas fractions, drive the evolution of the mass-metallicity relation
Luigi Bassini, Robert Feldmann, Jindra Gensior +5
Observations show a tight correlation between the stellar mass of galaxies and their gas-phase metallicity (MZR). This relation evolves with redshift, with higher-redshift galaxies…
Starburst-induced gas-stars kinematic misalignment
Elia Cenci, Robert Feldmann, Jindra Gensior +4
A kinematic misalignment of the stellar and gas components is a phenomenon observed in a significant fraction of galaxies. However, the underlying physical mechanisms are not well…
HI discs of L galaxies as probes of the baryonic physics of galaxy evolution
Jindra Gensior, Robert Feldmann, Marta Reina-Campos +7
Understanding what shapes the cold gas component of galaxies, which both provides the fuel for star formation and is strongly affected by the subsequent stellar feedback, is a cruc…
Starbursts driven by central gas compaction
Elia Cenci, Robert Feldmann, Jindra Gensior +3
Starburst (SB) galaxies are a rare population of galaxies with star formation rates (SFRs) greatly exceeding those of the majority of star-forming galaxies with similar stellar mas…
Modeling the orbital histories of satellites of Milky Way-mass galaxies: testing static host potentials against cosmological simulations
Isaiah B. Santistevan, Andrew Wetzel, Erik Tollerud +3
Understanding the evolution of satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) and M31 requires modeling their orbital histories across cosmic time. Many works that model satellite orbits…
Gas Morphology of Milky Way-like Galaxies in the TNG50 Simulation: Signals of Twisting and Stretching
Thomas K. Waters, Colton Peterson, Razieh Emami +9
We present an in-depth analysis of gas morphologies for a sample of 25 Milky Way-like galaxies from the IllustrisTNG TNG50 simulation. We constrain the morphology of cold, warm, ho…
