The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX - Part 2: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on the Stellar Morphology of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor
Thinh Huu Nguyen, Kirk S. S. Barrow, Minyong Jung +23
Galaxy mergers, with their high sensitivity to initial conditions, provide a valuable setting for comparative studies of galaxy simulation codes. Following our first paper focusing…
The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX - Part 1: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on Star Formation of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor
Thinh Huu Nguyen, Kirk S. S. Barrow, Minyong Jung +23
Given their highly nonlinear dynamics and sensitivity to initial conditions, galaxy mergers are a compelling area to conduct a simulation code comparison. We perform a comparative…
Investigating black hole accretion and feedback self-regulation in Seyfert galaxies using the FIRE-3 cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
Jonathan Mercedes-Feliz, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Jose Cevallos +12
Recent observations of local Seyfert galaxies show an intriguing connection between Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) luminosity and a deficit of molecular gas on ~50pc scales compared…
Little Red Dots on FIRE: Exploring the formation and observational signatures of ultra-compact early galaxies
Niranjan Chandra Roy, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Rachel K. Cochrane +15
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact sources with broad Balmer lines, Balmer breaks, anomalous UV emission, rising red continuum, and uncertain origin. We use FIRE cosmological simul…
Learning the Universe at High Redshifts: Impact of Accretion Modeling on Early Black Hole Growth
Jonathan Kho, Aklant K. Bhowmick, Rainer Weinberger +8
JWST discoveries of the earliest () supermassive black holes (BHs, ) challenge the BH seeding and accretion models of most cosmol…
Learning the Universe with the 2nd Generation of CAMELS: Varying 35 parameters of the IllustrisTNG model in (50Mpc/h)^3 boxes
Shy Genel, Yongseok Jo, Boon Kiat Oh +10
We present a new set of 1,192 cosmological simulations as part of the CAMELS project, in which a space of 35 cosmological, astrophysical, and numerical parameters is explored aroun…
