SLUG: A new way to Stochastically Light Up Galaxies
Michele Fumagalli, Robert da Silva, Mark Krumholz +1
We present SLUG, a new code to "Stochastically Light Up Galaxies". SLUG populates star clusters by randomly drawing stars from an initial mass function (IMF) and then following the…
Testing models for molecular gas formation in galaxies: hydrostatic pressure or gas and dust shielding?
Michele Fumagalli, Mark R. Krumholz, Leslie K. Hunt
Stars in galaxies form in giant molecular clouds that coalesce when the atomic hydrogen is converted into molecules. There are currently two dominant models for what property of th…
Directly imaging damped Lyman-alpha galaxies at z>2. I: Methodology and First Results
Michele Fumagalli, John M. O'Meara, J. Xavier Prochaska +1
We present the methodology for, and the first results from, a new imaging program aimed at identifying and characterizing the host galaxies of damped Lyman-alpha absorbers (DLAs) a…
