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…
UNCOVER/MegaScience: No Evidence of Environmental Quenching in a z2.6 Proto-cluster
Richard Pan, Katherine A. Suess, Danilo Marchesini +22
Environmental quenching -- where interactions with other galaxies and/or the intra-cluster medium (ICM) suppress star formation in low-mass galaxies -- has been well-established as…
The Structure and Formation Histories of Low-Mass Quiescent Galaxies in the Abell 2744 Cluster Environment
Sam E. Cutler, John R. Weaver, Katherine E. Whitaker +21
Low-mass quiescent galaxies are thought to predominantly reside in overdense regions, as environmental effects are often invoked to explain their shutdown of star formation. These…
Disks no more: the morphology of low-mass simulated galaxies in FIREbox
José A. Benavides, Laura V. Sales, Andrew Wetzel +9
We study the morphology of hundreds of simulated central galaxies in the stellar mass range \msun\, from the FIREbox cosmological volume. We demons…
Population Models for Star Formation Timescales in Early Galaxies: The First Step Towards Solving Outshining in Star Formation History Inference
Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja, Hakim Atek +13
JWST have revealed temporarily-quenched and ultraviolet-luminous galaxies in the early universe, suggesting enhanced star formation stochasticity. Verifying this hypothesis is crit…
Great Balls of FIRE IV. The contribution of massive star clusters to the astrophysical population of merging binary black holes
Tristan Bruel, Astrid Lamberts, Carl L. Rodriguez +3
The detection of over a hundred gravitational wave signals from double compacts objects have confirmed the existence of such binaries with tight orbits. Two main formation channels…
