Simulations of Dust Content and Attenuation in Galaxies

Dhruv T. Zimmerman, Jed McKinney, Desika Narayanan +10

Correctly modeling the dust attenuation law in galaxies is essential to properly inferring their growth and physical properties. With the rapid discovery of galaxies by JWST…

From starlight to dark matter: a stochastic interpolation approach to map dark matter from stellar density

Xiaowei Ou, Lina Necib, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro +9

The dark matter halo profile in galaxies holds key information about the nature of dark matter and galaxy formation. Constraining the dark matter profile of galaxies beyond the Mil…

Direct Tests of Black Hole Accretion Rate Prescriptions: I. Bondi Accretion at Different Scales

James Agostino, Ming-Yi Lin, Natasha Jones +9

We present spatially resolved parsec-scale measurements of nuclear conditions (gas density and kinetic temperature) relevant for black hole accretion rate predictions in the Seyfer…

The Lifecycle and Emission Properties of PAHs in Cosmological Hydrodynamic Galaxy Formation Simulations

Desika Narayanan, Paul Torrey, Massimiliano Parente +16

We present the first cosmological model for the lifecycle and luminous properties of PAHs in galaxies as they evolve from z=6-->0. We model 40 zoom-in galaxies, coupled with an on-…

Probing the Hot Gaseous Halos of Milky Way-like Galaxies in the TNG50 simulation

Zhijie Zhang, Xiaoxia Zhang, Taotao Fang +9

The origin and structure of the hot (K) gaseous halo around Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies provide a critical test for galaxy formation models. We perform a comprehensi…

Dust and Grain Size Evolution in Galaxy Simulations: What Matters and What Does Not

Massimiliano Parente, Desika Narayanan, Paul Torrey

We present the first implementation of an evolving dust grain size distribution (GSD) within a semi-analytic cosmological model (SAM) of galaxy evolution. This flexible model self-…
