Inferring the shapes of low-mass galaxies at from FIREbox. Where are the disks?
Haojie Geng, Robert Feldmann, Jorge Moreno +2
Context. The three-dimensional shapes of galaxies provide clues to their formation and evolution. Inferring intrinsic shapes from projected sizes and axis ratios requires assumptio…
Old Disks Die Hard: How Does AGN Feedback Suppress Disk Formation in Milky Way Mass Galaxies?
Patricia Fofie, James S. Bullock, Sarah Wellons +3
The connection between a galaxy's visual shape and its star formation rate is one of the oldest established trends in galaxy evolution, yet the origin of this trend remains unsettl…
Resolving galaxy formation in the early Universe with BonFIRE and CampFIRE
Jenna Samuel, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Robert Feldmann +16
The abundance and rapid growth of galaxies at cosmic dawn revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope challenges models of galaxy formation, motivating new simulations to uncover th…
From protogalaxy through thick and thin: Why did the Milky Way evolve in three kinematic phases?
Olti Myrtaj, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +9
APOGEE and Gaia data suggest the Milky Way's kinematic structure evolved through three distinct phases: a disordered protogalaxy, which ``spun up'' into a thick stellar disk, and t…
Second public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation
Andrew Wetzel, Jenna Samuel, Pratik J. Gandhi +34
We describe the second data release (DR2) of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation, from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, available…
Disks no more: the morphology of low-mass simulated galaxies in FIREbox
José A. Benavides, Laura V. Sales, Andrew Wetzel +9
We study the morphology of hundreds of simulated central galaxies in the stellar mass range \msun\, from the FIREbox cosmological volume. We demons…
Pickles on FIRE: The 3D Shape Evolution of Simulated Milky Way-Mass Galaxies
Luke Y. Xia, Courtney Klein, Jenny D. Wang +6
We use reduced-mass eigentensors to quantify the 3D ellipsoidal shape evolution of thirteen Milky Way-mass galaxies simulated using zoom simulations with FIRE-2 physics; all but on…
The Shape of FIREbox Galaxies and a Potential Tension with Low-mass Disks
Courtney Klein, Jenny D. Wang, Luke Xia +9
We study the intrinsic and observable shapes of approximately 700 star-forming galaxies with stellar masses of M from the FIREbox simulation at . We c…
MSA-3D: dissecting galaxies at z~1 with high spatial and spectral resolution
Ivana Barišić, Tucker Jones, Kris Mortensen +18
Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) is a powerful tool for understanding the formation of galaxies across cosmic history. We present the observing strategy and first results of MSA-3…
