The Simulated Oxygen Shortage (SOS): Mapping the Missing OVI in Simulated Dwarf Galaxies to Subgrid Physics

Daniel R. Piacitelli, Alyson M. Brooks, N. Nicole Sanchez +9

Observations reveal extended \OVI\, reservoirs in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of dwarf galaxies, yet current simulations systematically underpredict \OVI\, column densities. Ut…

Survivors and Zombies: The Quenching and Disruption of Satellites around Milky Way Analogs

Debosmita Pathak, Charlotte R. Christensen, Alyson M. Brooks +3

It is necessary to understand the full accretion history of the Milky Way in order to contextualize the properties of observed Milky Way satellite galaxies and the stellar halo. Th…

Marvelous Metals: Surveying the Circumgalactic Medium of Simulated Dwarf Galaxies

Daniel R. Piacitelli, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte Christensen +7

Dwarf galaxies are uniquely sensitive to energetic feedback processes and are known to experience substantial mass and metal loss from their disk. Here, we investigate the circumga…

Testable predictions of outside-in age gradients in dwarf galaxies of all types

Claire L. Riggs, Alyson M. Brooks, Ferah Munshi +4

We use a sample of 73 simulated satellite and central dwarf galaxies spanning a stellar mass range of to investigate the origin of their stellar age gra…

Bursting with Feedback: The Relationship between Feedback Model and Bursty Star Formation Histories in Dwarf Galaxies

Bianca Azartash-Namin, Anna Engelhardt, Ferah Munshi +6

We use high-resolution cosmological simulations to compare the effect of bursty star formation histories on dwarf galaxy structure for two different subgrid supernovae (SNe) feedba…

Environment Matters: Predicted Differences in the Stellar Mass--Halo Mass Relation and History of Star Formation for Dwarf Galaxies

Charlotte R. Christensen, Alyson Brooks, Ferah Munshi +5

We are entering an era in which we will be able to detect and characterize hundreds of dwarf galaxies within the Local Volume. It is already known that a strong dichotomy exists in…
