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…

Magnetic Reconnection on a Klein Bottle
Luke Xia, M. Swisdak
We present a new boundary condition for simulations of magnetic reconnection based on the topology of a Klein bottle. When applicable, the new condition is computationally cheaper…
