Atomic Chemistry in Turbulent Astrophysical Media II: Effect of the Redshift Zero Metagalactic Background
William J Gray, Evan Scannapieco
We carry out direct numerical simulations of turbulent astrophysical media exposed to the redshift zero metagalactic background. The simulations assume solar composition and explic…
Formation of Compact Clusters from High Resolution Hybrid Cosmological Simulations
Mark L. A. Richardson, Evan Scannapieco, William J. Gray
The early Universe hosted a large population of small dark matter `minihalos' that were too small to cool and form stars on their own. These existed as static objects around larger…
Thermal and Chemical Evolution of Collapsing Filaments
William J Gray, Evan Scannapieco
Intergalactic filaments form the foundation of the cosmic web that connect galaxies together, and provide an important reservoir of gas for galaxy growth and accretion. Here we pre…
Identification of a Fundamental Transition in a Turbulently-Supported Interstellar Medium
Evan Scannapieco, William J. Gray, Liubin Pan
The interstellar medium in star-forming galaxies is a multiphase gas in which turbulent support is at least as important as thermal pressure. Sustaining this configuration requires…
Formation of Compact Stellar Clusters by High-Redshift Galaxy Outflows III: Observability and Connection to Halo Globular Clusters
William J Gray, Evan Scannapieco
The early universe hosted a large population of low-mass virialized "minihalos," that were not massive enough to form stars on their own. While most minihalos were photoevaporated…
Formation of Compact Stellar Clusters by High-Redshift Galaxy Outflows II: Effect of Turbulence and Metal-Line Cooling
William Gray, Evan Scannapieco
In the primordial universe, low mass structures with virial temperatures less than 10 K were unable to cool by atomic line transitions, leading to a strong suppression of sta…
