The THESAN-ZOOM project: clumpiness of high-redshift galaxies and its connection to bursty star formation
Zihao Wang, Xuejian Shen, Rahul Kannan +12
Recent JWST observations have revealed diverse high-redshift galaxy morphologies, including a population with irregular and clumpy structures. The physical origin of these structur…
Ubiquitous Corotation of Dark Matter Halos: Implications for Direct Detection
Dylan Folsom, Carlos Blanco, Mariangela Lisanti +1
Cosmological simulations have recently begun to quantify the halo-to-halo variance in the phase-space distribution of dark matter around the Sun. We use a sample of nearly one hund…
The Thesan-Zoom project: bursty star formation is incompatible with prolonged dust survival
Enrico Garaldi, Filip Popovic, Rahul Kannan +11
Cosmic dust is a key regulator of galaxy evolution, but its build-up and survival in the first billion years remain poorly constrained. We present a systematic analysis of dust in…
What becomes of JWST/NIRCam-selected high-redshift massive galaxies?
Devontae C. Baxter, Alison L. Coil, Ethan O Nadler +2
Early JWST/NIRCam surveys revealed a puzzling population of high-redshift massive galaxy candidates largely absent from previous rest-frame UV surveys. Spectroscopic follow-up has…
Globular cluster abundance patterns inherited from giant molecular clouds
William McClymont, Vasily Belokurov, Sandro Tacchella +16
Globular clusters exhibit large star-to-star variations and anticorrelations in their light element abundances that are commonly interpreted in terms of in-cluster self-enrichment,…
A Novel Implementation of Self-Interacting Dark Matter in AREPO
Oliver Zier, Xuejian Shen, Vinh Tran +3
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) influences halo structure through collisional heat transport and may solve several small-scale puzzles in structure formation. SIDM creates ther…
