The Anatomy of a Star-Forming Galaxy II: the role of FUV heating via dust
Samantha M. Benincasa, James W. Wadsley, Hugh M. P. Couchman +4
Far-Ultraviolet (FUV) radiation greatly exceeds ultraviolet, supernovae and winds in the energy budget of young star clusters but is poorly modeled in galaxy simulations. We presen…
Live Fast, Die Young: GMC lifetimes in the FIRE cosmological simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Samantha M. Benincasa, Sarah R. Loebman, Andrew Wetzel +6
We present the first measurement of the lifetimes of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in cosmological simulations at , using the Latte suite of FIRE-2 simulations of Milky Way-…
LRP2020: Astrostatistics in Canada
Gwendolyn Eadie, Arash Bahramian, Pauline Barmby +16
(Abridged from Executive Summary) This white paper focuses on the interdisciplinary fields of astrostatistics and astroinformatics, in which modern statistical and computational me…
Evolution of giant molecular clouds across cosmic time
David Guszejnov, Michael Y. Grudić, Stella S. R. Offner +5
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are well-studied in the local Universe, however, exactly how their properties vary during galaxy evolution is poorly understood due to challenging res…
A profile in FIRE: resolving the radial distributions of satellite galaxies in the Local Group with simulations
Jenna Samuel, Andrew Wetzel, Erik Tollerud +9
While many tensions between Local Group (LG) satellite galaxies and LCDM cosmology have been alleviated through recent cosmological simulations, the spatial distribution of satelli…
