RIGEL: Feedback-regulated cloud-scale star formation efficiency in a simulated dwarf galaxy merger
Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Federico Marinacci +5
Major mergers of galaxies are likely to trigger bursty star formation activities. The accumulation of dense gas and the boost of star formation efficiency (SFE) are considered to b…

The THESAN-ZOOM project: Star formation efficiency from giant molecular clouds to galactic scale in high-redshift starbursts
Zihao Wang, Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger +12
Star formation in galaxies is inherently complex, involving the interplay of physical processes over a hierarchy of spatial scales. In this work, we investigate the connection betw…

The life cycle of giant molecular clouds in simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies
Yang Ni, Hui Li, Mark Vogelsberger +3
In this work, we trace the complete life cycle of individual GMCs in high-resolution Milky Way-mass galaxy simulations to determine how different stellar feedback mechanisms and ga…
