The origin of the diverse morphologies and kinematics of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations
Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel +11
We use hydrodynamic cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project to explore the morphologies and kinematics of fifteen Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies. Our sample ranges fro…
Galaxy growth in a massive halo in the first billion years of cosmic history
D. P. Marrone, J. S. Spilker, C. C. Hayward +34
According to the current understanding of cosmic structure formation, the precursors of the most massive structures in the Universe began to form shortly after the Big Bang, in reg…
Discrete Effects in Stellar Feedback: Individual Supernovae, Hypernovae, and IMF Sampling in Dwarf Galaxies
Kung-Yi Su, Philip F. Hopkins, Christopher C. Hayward +6
Using high-resolution simulations from the FIRE-2 (Feedback In Realistic Environments) project, we study the effects of discreteness in stellar feedback processes on the evolution…
Stellar feedback strongly alters the amplification and morphology of galactic magnetic fields
Kung-Yi Su, Christopher C. Hayward, Philip F. Hopkins +3
Using high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic simulations of idealized, non-cosmological galaxies, we investigate how cooling, star formation, and stellar feedback affect galactic magn…
Simulating galaxies in the reionization era with FIRE-2: morphologies and sizes
Xiangcheng Ma, Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +7
We study the morphologies and sizes of galaxies at z>5 using high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations from the Feedback In Realistic Environments project. The galaxies show…
Stacked star formation rate profiles of bursty galaxies exhibit 'coherent' star formation
Matthew E. Orr, Christopher C. Hayward, Erica J. Nelson +6
In a recent work based on 3200 stacked H maps of galaxies at , Nelson et al.~find evidence for `coherent star formation': the stacked SFR profiles of galaxies above (b…
