Variations in the slope of the resolved star-forming main sequence: a tool for constraining the mass of star-forming regions

Maan H. Hani, Christopher C. Hayward, Matthew E. Orr +5

The correlation between galaxies' integrated stellar masses and star formation rates (the `star formation main sequence'; SFMS) is a well-established scaling relation. Recently, su…

Swirls of FIRE: Spatially Resolved Gas Velocity Dispersions and Star Formation Rates in FIRE-2 Disk Environments

Matthew E. Orr, Christopher C. Hayward, Anne M. Medling +6

We study the spatially resolved (sub-kpc) gas velocity dispersion ()--star formation rate (SFR) relation in the FIRE-2 (Feedback in Realistic Environments) cosmological simulati…

Physical Characterization of an Unlensed Dusty Star-Forming Galaxy at

Caitlin M. Casey, Jorge A. Zavala, Manuel Aravena +23

We present a physical characterization of MMJ100026.36+021527.9 (a.k.a. ``MAMBO-9''), a dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG) at . This is the highest redshift unlensed…

Deep learning predictions of galaxy merger stage and the importance of observational realism

Connor Bottrell, Maan H. Hani, Hossen Teimoorinia +7

Machine learning is becoming a popular tool to quantify galaxy morphologies and identify mergers. However, this technique relies on using an appropriate set of training data to be…

Measuring dynamical masses from gas kinematics in simulated high-redshift galaxies

Sarah Wellons, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +4

Advances in instrumentation have recently extended detailed measurements of gas kinematics to large samples of high-redshift galaxies. Relative to most nearby, thin disk galaxies,…
