Diversity and Evolution of Dust Attenuation Curves from Redshift z ~ 1 to 9
Irene Shivaei, Rohan P. Naidu, Francisco Rodriguez Montero +23
The UV-optical dust attenuation curve is key to interpreting the intrinsic properties of galaxies and provides insights into the nature of dust grains and their geometry relative t…
CALIMA: On-the-fly dust and PAH evolution for radiation-hydrodynamics galaxy formation simulations
Francisco RodrÃguez Montero, Yohan Dubois, Harley Katz +2
Dust grains and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) actively contribute to the thermodynamics, chemistry, and radiative state of the interstellar medium (ISM), yet most ISM mod…
Picture an Astronomer: Best Practices for Retaining Talent in Astrophysics
Ava Polzin, Katherine E. Whitaker, C. Megan Urry +85
Women are consistently underrepresented in astrophysics yet are simultaneously subject to disproportionate attrition at every career stage. This disparity between demonstrated effi…
The Pandora project. II: how non-thermal physics drives bursty star formation and temperate mass-loaded outflows in dwarf galaxies
Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Debora Sijacki, Martin G. Haehnelt +11
Dwarf galaxies provide powerful laboratories for studying galaxy formation physics. Their early assembly, shallow gravitational potentials, and bursty, clustered star formation his…
MEGATRON: the impact of non-equilibrium effects and local radiation fields on the circumgalactic medium at cosmic noon
Corentin Cadiou, Harley Katz, Martin P. Rey +22
We present three cosmological radiation-hydrodynamic zoom simulations of the progenitor of a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the MEGATRON suite. The simulations combine on-the-fly radia…
MEGATRON: how the first stars create an iron metallicity plateau in the smallest dwarf galaxies
Martin P. Rey, Harley Katz, Corentin Cadiou +23
We study the stellar mass-iron metallicity relation of dwarf galaxies in the new high-resolution MEGATRON cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. These simulations model…
