Star Cluster Formation and Survival in the First Galaxies
Fred Angelo Batan Garcia, Massimo Ricotti, Kazuyuki Sugimura +1
Using radiation-hydrodynamic cosmological simulations, we present a detailed ( pc resolution), physically motivated portrait of a typical-mass dwarf galaxy before the epoch of…
Population III star formation in an X-ray background: III. Periodic radiative feedback and luminosity induced by elliptical orbits
Jongwon Park, Massimo Ricotti, Kazuyuki Sugimura
We model Pop III star formation in different FUV and X-ray backgrounds, including radiation feedback from protostars. We confirm previous results that a moderate X-ray background i…
Bimodal Star Formation in Simulations of Strongly Magnetized Giant Molecular Clouds
Ronan Hix, Chong-Chong He, Massimo Ricotti
We present the results of a set of radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of turbulent molecular clouds in which we vary the initial strength of the magnetic field within a rang…
Massive Prestellar Cores in Radiation-magneto-turbulent Simulations of Molecular Clouds
Chong-Chong He, Massimo Ricotti
We simulate the formation and collapse of prestellar cores at few-AU resolution in a set of radiation-magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) using the gr…
Kindling the First Stars: I. Dependence of Detectability of the First Stars with JWST on the Pop III Stellar Masses
Mia Sauda Bovill, Massimo Stiavelli, Alessa Ibrahim Wiggins +2
The first Pop III stars formed out of primordial, metal free gas, in minihalos at z>20, and kickstarted the cosmic processes of reionizaton and enrichment. While these stars are li…
Devouring the Milky Way Satellites: Modeling Dwarf Galaxies with Galacticus
Sachi Weerasooriya, Mia Sauda Bovill, Andrew Benson +2
Dwarf galaxies are ubiquitous throughout the universe and are extremely sensitive to various forms of internal and external feedback. Over the last two decades, the census of dwarf…
