Aeos: The Impact of Population III Initial Mass Function and Star-by-Star Models in Galaxy Simulations

Kaley Brauer, Jennifer Mead, John H. Wise +7

We explore the effect of variations in the Population III (Pop III) initial mass function (IMF) and star-by-star feedback on early galaxy formation and evolution using the Aeos sim…

EDGE-INFERNO: How chemical enrichment assumptions impact the individual stars of a simulated ultra-faint dwarf galaxy

Eric P. Andersson, Martin P. Rey, Robert M. Yates +6

The chemical abundances of stars in galaxies are a fossil record of the star formation and stellar evolution processes that regulate galaxy formation, including the stellar initial…

From Primordial Stars to Early Galaxies: A Semi-Analytic Model Calibrated with Aeos and Renaissance

Ryan Hazlett, Jennifer Mead, Eli Visbal +6

We present an extension of our semi-analytic model that follows the formation of Population III stars and their metal-enriched descendants, incorporating dark matter halo merger tr…

Aeos is Mixing it Up: The (In)homogeneity of Metal Mixing Following Population III Star Formation

Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan +7

Stellar surface abundances are records of the state of the gas from which stars formed, and thus trace how individual elements have mixed into the surrounding medium following thei…

Aeos: Transport of Metals from Minihalos following Population III Stellar Feedback

Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan +7

We investigate how stellar feedback from the first stars (Population III) distributes metals through the interstellar and intergalactic medium using the star-by-star cosmological h…

AEOS: Star-by-Star Cosmological Simulations of Early Chemical Enrichment and Galaxy Formation

Kaley Brauer, Andrew Emerick, Jennifer Mead +7

The AEOS project introduces a series of high-resolution cosmological simulations that model star-by-star chemical enrichment and galaxy formation in the early Universe, achieving 1…
