Which AGN Jets Quench Star Formation in Massive Galaxies?
Kung-Yi Su, Philip F. Hopkins, Greg L. Bryan +12
Without additional heating, radiative cooling of gas in the halos of massive galaxies (Milky Way and above) produces cold gas or stars in excess of that observed. Previous work sug…
Fiery Cores: Bursty and Smooth Star Formation Distributions across Galaxy Centers in Cosmological Zoom-in Simulations
Matthew E. Orr, H Perry Hatchfield, Cara Battersby +7
We present an analysis of the kpc core regions of seven simulated Milky Way mass galaxies, from the FIRE-2 (Feedback in Realistic Environments) cosmological zoom-in…
Pressure balance in the multiphase ISM of cosmologically simulated disk galaxies
Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Alexander J. Richings +13
Pressure balance plays a central role in models of the interstellar medium (ISM), but whether and how pressure balance is realized in a realistic multiphase ISM is not yet well und…
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…
Live Fast, Die Young: GMC lifetimes in the FIRE cosmological simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Samantha M. Benincasa, Sarah R. Loebman, Andrew Wetzel +6
We present the first measurement of the lifetimes of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in cosmological simulations at , using the Latte suite of FIRE-2 simulations of Milky Way-…
