Powderday: Dust Radiative Transfer for Galaxy Simulations

Desika Narayanan, Matthew J. Turk, Thomas Robitaille +18

We present Powderday, a flexible, fast, open-source dust radiative transfer package designed to interface with galaxy formation simulations. Powderday builds on FSPS population syn…

The Robustness of Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulation Predictions to Changes in Numerics and Cooling Physics

Shuiyao Huang, Neal Katz, Romeel Davé +8

We test and improve the numerical schemes in our smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code for cosmological simulations, including the pressure-entropy formulation (PESPH), a time…

Identifying Mergers Using Quantitative Morphologies in Zoom Simulations of High-Redshift Galaxies

Matthew W. Abruzzo, Desika Narayanan, Romeel Davé +1

Non-parametric morphology measures are a powerful tool for identifying galaxy mergers at low redshifts. We employ cosmological zoom simulations using Gizmo with the Mufasa feedback…

The IRX-Beta Dust Attenuation Relation in Cosmological Galaxy Formation Simulations

Desika Narayanan, Romeel Dave, Benjamin Johnson +3

We utilise a series of high-resolution cosmological zoom simulations of galaxy formation to investigate the relationship between the ultraviolet (UV) slope, beta, and the ratio of…

Baseline Metal Enrichment from Population III Star Formation in Cosmological Volume Simulations

Jason Jaacks, Robert Thompson, Steven L. Finkelstein +1

We utilize the hydrodynamic and N-body code {\small GIZMO} coupled with our newly developed sub-grid Population~III (Pop~III) Legacy model, designed specifically for cosmological v…

MUFASA: The assembly of the red sequence

Romeel Davé, Mika H. Rafieferantsoa, Robert J. Thompson

We examine the growth and evolution of quenched galaxies in the Mufasa cosmological hydrodynamic simulations that include an evolving halo mass-based quenching prescription, with g…
