The Impact of Enhanced Halo Resolution on the Simulated Circumgalactic Medium
Cameron B. Hummels, Britton D. Smith, Philip F. Hopkins +7
Traditional cosmological hydrodynamics simulations fail to spatially resolve the circumgalatic medium (CGM), the reservoir of tenuous gas surrounding a galaxy and extending to its…
FRIB and the GW170817 Kilonova
A. Aprahamian, R. Surman, A. Frebel +45
In July 2018 an FRIB Theory Alliance program was held on the implications of GW170817 and its associated kilonova for r-process nucleosynthesis. Topics of discussion included the a…
The Origin of r-process Enhanced Metal-Poor Halo Stars In Now-Destroyed Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies
Kaley Brauer, Alexander P. Ji, Anna Frebel +3
The highly r-process enhanced (r-II) metal-poor halo stars we observe today could play a key role in understanding early ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, the smallest building blocks of…
Metal Mixing and Ejection in Dwarf Galaxies is Dependent on Nucleosynthetic Source
Andrew Emerick, Greg L. Bryan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +3
Using a high resolution simulation of an isolated dwarf galaxy, accounting for multi-channel stellar feedback and chemical evolution on a star-by-star basis, we investigate how eac…
r-Process Nucleosynthesis: Connecting Rare-Isotope Beam Facilities with the Cosmos
C. J. Horowitz, A. Arcones, B. Côté +35
This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and elec…
The Growth of Black Holes from Population III Remnants in the Renaissance Simulations
Britton Smith, John Regan, Turlough Downes +3
The formation of stellar mass black holes from the remnants of Population III stars provides a source of initial black hole seeds with the potential to grow into intermediate or, i…
