Second public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation
Andrew Wetzel, Jenna Samuel, Pratik J. Gandhi +34
We describe the second data release (DR2) of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation, from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, available…
Disks no more: the morphology of low-mass simulated galaxies in FIREbox
José A. Benavides, Laura V. Sales, Andrew Wetzel +9
We study the morphology of hundreds of simulated central galaxies in the stellar mass range \msun\, from the FIREbox cosmological volume. We demons…
Where is the Super-Virial Gas? The Supply from hot inflows
Manami Roy, Kung-Yi Su, Smita Mathur +1
In an effort to understand the presence of super-virial gas detected in the Milky Way, we present our findings from isolated galaxy simulations of Milky Way-like systems using GIZM…
The physical origin of positive metallicity radial gradients in high-redshift galaxies: insights from the FIRE-2 cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
Xunda Sun, Xin Wang, Xiangcheng Ma +11
Using the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations, we investigate the temporal evolution of gas-phase metallicity radial gradients of Milky Way-mass progenitors in the redshift ran…
Properties of the Line-of-Sight Velocity Field in the Hot and X-ray Emitting Circumgalactic Medium of Nearby Simulated Disk Galaxies
J. A. ZuHone, G. Schellenberger, A. Ogorzalek +16
The hot, X-ray-emitting phase of the circumgalactic medium of massive galaxies is believed to be the reservoir of baryons from which gas flows onto the central galaxy and into whic…
Accretion onto disk galaxies via hot and rotating CGM inflows
Jonathan Stern, Drummond Fielding, Zachary Hafen +5
Observed accretion rates onto the Milky-Way and other local spirals fall short of that required to sustain star formation for cosmological timescales. A potential avenue for this u…
