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…
Effects of galactic environment on size and dark matter content in low-mass galaxies
Francisco J. Mercado, Jorge Moreno, Robert Feldmann +8
We utilize the cosmological volume simulation, FIREbox, to investigate how a galaxy's environment influences its size and dark matter content. Our study focuses on approximately 1,…
Size-Mass Relations for Simulated Low-Mass Galaxies: Mock Imaging versus Intrinsic Properties
Courtney Klein, James S. Bullock, Jorge Moreno +4
The observationally-inferred size versus stellar-mass relationship (SMR) for low-mass galaxies provides an important test for galaxy formation models. However, the relationship rel…
