Reproducing the CO-to-H conversion factor in cosmological simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Laura C. Keating, Alexander J. Richings, Norman Murray +8
We present models of CO(1-0) emission from Milky Way-mass galaxies at redshift zero in the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. We calculate the molecular abundances by post-pr…
Variations in the slope of the resolved star-forming main sequence: a tool for constraining the mass of star-forming regions
Maan H. Hani, Christopher C. Hayward, Matthew E. Orr +5
The correlation between galaxies' integrated stellar masses and star formation rates (the `star formation main sequence'; SFMS) is a well-established scaling relation. Recently, su…
Swirls of FIRE: Spatially Resolved Gas Velocity Dispersions and Star Formation Rates in FIRE-2 Disk Environments
Matthew E. Orr, Christopher C. Hayward, Anne M. Medling +6
We study the spatially resolved (sub-kpc) gas velocity dispersion ()--star formation rate (SFR) relation in the FIRE-2 (Feedback in Realistic Environments) cosmological simulati…
Cosmic Rays or Turbulence can Suppress Cooling Flows (Where Thermal Heating or Momentum Injection Fail)
Kung-Yi Su, Philip F. Hopkins, Christopher C. Hayward +6
The quenching `maintenance' and `cooling flow' problems are important from the Milky Way through massive cluster elliptical galaxies. Previous work has shown that some source of en…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Constraints on the Conditions for Star Formation in Galaxy Discs
David V. Stark, Kevin A. Bundy, Matthew E. Orr +12
Regions of disc galaxies with widespread star formation tend to be both gravitationally unstable and self-shielded against ionizing radiation, whereas extended outer discs with lit…
Stacked star formation rate profiles of bursty galaxies exhibit 'coherent' star formation
Matthew E. Orr, Christopher C. Hayward, Erica J. Nelson +6
In a recent work based on 3200 stacked H maps of galaxies at , Nelson et al.~find evidence for `coherent star formation': the stacked SFR profiles of galaxies above (b…
