How Little Red Dots Turn Blue: Evolution of Kelvin-Helmholtz Contracting Black Hole Envelopes and Observational Diagnostics

Zihao Wang, Kohei Inayoshi

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations have revealed compact, red-colored, broad-line emitters known as little red dots (LRDs), while a bluer counterpart population has bee…

The THESAN-ZOOM project: clumpiness of high-redshift galaxies and its connection to bursty star formation

Zihao Wang, Xuejian Shen, Rahul Kannan +12

Recent JWST observations have revealed diverse high-redshift galaxy morphologies, including a population with irregular and clumpy structures. The physical origin of these structur…

Globular cluster abundance patterns inherited from giant molecular clouds

William McClymont, Vasily Belokurov, Sandro Tacchella +16

Globular clusters exhibit large star-to-star variations and anticorrelations in their light element abundances that are commonly interpreted in terms of in-cluster self-enrichment,…

Halo assembly bias in the early Universe: a clustering probe of the origin of the Little Red Dots

Zihao Wang, Fangzhou Jiang, Haonan Zheng +5

The clustering of galaxies encodes key information about the structure and assembly history of their host dark matter (DM) haloes, providing a powerful probe of the origin of extre…

The THESAN-ZOOM project: Mystery N/O more -- uncovering the origin of peculiar chemical abundances and a not-so-fundamental metallicity relation at

William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella, Aaron Smith +15

We present an analysis of metallicities and chemical abundances at in the THESAN-ZOOM simulations. We find that smoothly curved gas-phase and stellar mass-metallicity rela…

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 THESAN-ZOOM project: Star-formation efficiencies in high-redshift galaxies

Xuejian Shen, Rahul Kannan, Ewald Puchwein +10

Recent JWST observations hint at unexpectedly intense cosmic star-formation in the early Universe, often attributed to enhanced star-formation efficiencies (SFEs). Here, we analyze…
