Galaxy Metallicity Gradients in the Reionization Epoch from the FIRE-2 Simulations
Xunda Sun, Xin Wang, Fangzhou Jiang +10
We employ the high-redshift suite of FIRE-2 cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations to investigate the evolution of gas-phase metallicity radial gradients in galaxies in the…
Inside-out versus Upside-down: The Origin and Evolution of Metallicity Radial Gradients in FIRE Simulations of Milky Way-mass Galaxies and the Essential Role of Gas Mixing
Russell L. Graf, Andrew Wetzel, Jeremy Bailin +1
Within the Milky Way (MW), younger stellar populations exhibit steeper (more negative) metallicity radial gradients; the origin of this trend remains debated. The FIRE-2 cosmologic…
The physical origin of positive metallicity radial gradients in high-redshift galaxies: insights from the FIRE-2 cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
Xunda Sun, Xin Wang, Xiangcheng Ma +11
Using the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations, we investigate the temporal evolution of gas-phase metallicity radial gradients of Milky Way-mass progenitors in the redshift ran…
Spatial Variations of Stellar Elemental Abundances in FIRE Simulations of Milky Way-Mass Galaxies: Patterns Today Mostly Reflect Those at Formation
Russell L. Graf, Andrew Wetzel, Matthew A. Bellardini +1
Spatial patterns of stellar elemental abundances encode rich information about a galaxy's formation history. We analyze the radial, vertical, and azimuthal variations of metals in…
