Spiral Arms are Metal Freeways: Azimuthal Gas-Phase Metallicity Variations in Simulated Cosmological Zoom-in Flocculent Disks

Matthew E. Orr, Blakesley Burkhart, Andrew Wetzel +7

We examine the azimuthal variations in gas-phase metallicity profiles in simulated Milky Way mass disk galaxies from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) cosmological zo…

Spatially Resolved Gas-phase Metallicity in FIRE-2 Dwarfs: Late-Time Evolution of Metallicity Relations in Simulations with Feedback and Mergers

Lori E. Porter, Matthew E. Orr, Blakesley Burkhart +4

We present an analysis of spatially resolved gas-phase metallicity relations in five dwarf galaxies ( $M_{ha l o} \approx 1 0^{11} M_{⊙}$ , $M_{⋆} \approx 1 0^{8.8} - 1 0^{9.6} M_{⊙}$ …

FIRE-3: Updated Stellar Evolution Models, Yields, & Microphysics and Fitting Functions for Applications in Galaxy Simulations

Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel, Coral Wheeler +18

Increasingly, uncertainties in predictions from galaxy formation simulations (at sub-Milky Way masses) are dominated by uncertainties in stellar evolution inputs. In this paper, we…
