Ergodicity of FIRE: star formation variations within and between simulated galaxies
Fraser M. Smith, Robert J. Thacker
We investigate the ergodicity of star formation in simulated galaxies from the FIRE-2 (Feedback In Realistic Environments) project. We restrict ergodicity considerations to being r…

Examining partial ergodicity as a predictor of star formation departures from the galactic main sequence in isolated galaxies
Fraser M. Smith, Robert J. Thacker
Lacking the ability to follow individual galaxies on cosmological timescales, our understanding of individual galaxy evolution is broadly inferred from population trends and behavi…
