Why does the Milky Way have a metallicity floor?
Britton D. Smith, Brian W. O'Shea, Sadegh Khochfar +3
The prevalence of light element enhancement in the most metal-poor stars is potentially an indication that the Milky Way has a metallicity floor for star formation around 10$…
The Role of Radiation and Halo Mergers in Pop III Star Formation
Lilia Correa Magnus, Britton D. Smith, Sadegh Khochfar +4
We present a study of the co-evolution of a population of primordial star-forming minihalos at Cosmic Dawn. In this study, we highlight the influence of individual Population III s…
The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. III: Cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass halo
Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Ji-hoon Kim, Loic Hausammann +20
We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to of a halo at , obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simul…
Powderday: Dust Radiative Transfer for Galaxy Simulations
Desika Narayanan, Matthew J. Turk, Thomas Robitaille +18
We present Powderday, a flexible, fast, open-source dust radiative transfer package designed to interface with galaxy formation simulations. Powderday builds on FSPS population syn…
Large Scale Dynamo in a Primordial Accretion Flow -- An Interpretation from Hydrodynamic Simulation
Wei-Ting Liao, Matthew Turk, Hsi-Yu Schive
Without an existing large scale coherent magnetic field in the early Universe, Population III (PopIII) stars would likely rotate at or near break-up speed. In this work, focusing o…
Fragmentation in a Primordial Accretion Flow
Wei-Ting Liao, Matthew Turk
Under rapid cooling from molecular hydrogen, the accretion disks around Population III (PopIII) stars are believed to fragment, resulting in multiple accreting cores. In this paper…
