Spatially Resolving the Kinematics of the as Quasar Broad-line Region Using Spectroastrometry II. The First Tentative Detection in a Luminous Quasar at

Felix Bosco, Joseph F. Hennawi, Jonathan Stern +1

Direct measurements of the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are key to understanding their growth and constrain their symbiotic relationship to their host galaxies. Howev…

Neutral CGM as damped Lyα absorbers at high redshift

Jonathan Stern, Amiel Sternberg, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +8

Recent searches for the hosts of high-redshift () damped Ly absorbers (DLAs) have detected bright galaxies at distances of tens of kpc from the DLA. Using the FIRE-2 c…

The bursty origin of the Milky Way thick disc

Sijie Yu, James S. Bullock, Courtney Klein +11

We investigate thin and thick stellar disc formation in Milky-Way-mass galaxies using twelve FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. All simulated galaxies experience an early per…

Characterizing mass, momentum, energy and metal outflow rates of multi-phase galactic winds in the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations

Viraj Pandya, Drummond B. Fielding, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +14

We characterize mass, momentum, energy and metal outflow rates of multi-phase galactic winds in a suite of FIRE-2 cosmological "zoom-in" simulations from the Feedback in Realistic…

Which AGN Jets Quench Star Formation in Massive Galaxies?

Kung-Yi Su, Philip F. Hopkins, Greg L. Bryan +12

Without additional heating, radiative cooling of gas in the halos of massive galaxies (Milky Way and above) produces cold gas or stars in excess of that observed. Previous work sug…
