Second public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation
Andrew Wetzel, Jenna Samuel, Pratik J. Gandhi +34
We describe the second data release (DR2) of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation, from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, available…
The impact of mass-dependent stochasticity at cosmic dawn
Viola Gelli, Charlotte Mason, Christopher C. Hayward
JWST is unveiling a surprising lack of evolution in the number densities of ultraviolet-selected (UV) galaxies at redshift . At the same time, observations and simulat…
Evaluating Mass Outflow Rate Estimators in FIRE-2 Simulations: Towards a Self-Consistent Framework for Spectral Line Based Predictions
Cody A Carr, Aaron Smith, Viraj Pandya +4
$\require{mediawiki-texvc}$Galactic outflows shape galaxy evolution, but their mass, energy, and momentum transfer remain uncertain. High-resolution spectroscopy can help, but syst…
A Dusty Dawn: Galactic Dust Buildup at
Caleb R. Choban, Samir Salim, Dušan Kereš +2
Over the last decade, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array has revealed massive, dusty star-forming galaxies at , and the James Webb Space Telescope is primed to uncover e…
Elevated UV luminosity density at Cosmic Dawn explained by non-evolving, weakly mass-dependent star formation efficiency
Robert Feldmann, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, James S. Bullock +11
Recent observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered unexpectedly high cosmic star formation activity in the early Universe, mere hundreds of millions of y…
