Early onset of the hot circumgalactic medium around Milky Way galaxies

Víctor Rufo-Pastor, Oscar Agertz, Santi Roca-Fábrega +6

Hot coronae are key regulators in Milky Way (MW)-type galaxy formation and are thought to emerge once a galaxy's dark matter halo crosses a critical mass threshold, $M_{\mathrm{vir…

How can we finally see the first light? Status and perspective in the search for Population III stars

Alessandra Venditti, Daniel Schaerer, Erik Zackrisson +26

Finding the first (Population III or Pop III) stars is one of the fundamental quests of astronomy, aiming to deliver the missing link in how stars form at early cosmic times. Yet t…

MEGATRON: the impact of non-equilibrium effects and local radiation fields on the circumgalactic medium at cosmic noon

Corentin Cadiou, Harley Katz, Martin P. Rey +22

We present three cosmological radiation-hydrodynamic zoom simulations of the progenitor of a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the MEGATRON suite. The simulations combine on-the-fly radia…

MEGATRON: Reproducing the Diversity of High-Redshift Galaxy Spectra with Cosmological Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations

Harley Katz, Martin P. Rey, Corentin Cadiou +21

We present the MEGATRON suite of cosmological radiation hydrodynamics simulations following the formation of Milky Way-mass galaxies from the earliest cosmic epochs when Population…

MEGATRON: The environments of Population III stars at Cosmic Dawn and their connection to present day galaxies

Anatole Storck, Harley Katz, Julien Devriendt +7

We present results of Pop. III formation in the MEGATRON suite of simulations, which self-consistently follows radiation and non-equilibrium chemistry, and resolves gas at near-pc…

MEGATRON: how the first stars can create an iron metallicity plateau in the smallest dwarf galaxies

Martin P. Rey, Harley Katz, Corentin Cadiou +23

We study the stellar mass-iron metallicity relation of dwarf galaxies in the new high-resolution MEGATRON cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. These simulations model…
