The Ultraviolet Slopes of Early Universe Galaxies: The Impact of Bursty Star Formation, Dust, and Nebular Continuum Emission
Desika Narayanan, Daniel P. Stark, Steven L. Finkelstein +8
JWST has enabled the detection of the UV continuum of galaxies at z>10, evidencing a population of extremely blue, potentially dust-free galaxies. Interpreting the UV spectra of ga…
Simba-EoR: Early galaxy formation in the Simba simulation including a new sub-grid interstellar medium model
Ewan Jones, Britton Smith, Romeel Davé +2
We update the dust model present within the Simba galaxy simulations with a self-consistent framework for the co-evolution of dust and molecular hydrogen populations in the interst…
Outshining by Recent Star Formation Prevents the Accurate Measurement of High-z Galaxy Stellar Masses
Desika Narayanan, Sidney Lower, Paul Torrey +10
In this paper, we demonstrate that the inference of galaxy stellar masses via spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting techniques for galaxies formed in the first billion years a…
A Framework for Modeling Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission in Galaxy Evolution Simulations
Desika Narayanan, J. D. Smith, Brandon Hensley +7
We present a new methodology for simulating mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in galaxy evolution simulations. To do this, we combine theoretical m…
Cosmic Sands: The Origin of Dusty, Star-forming Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization
Sidney Lower, Desika Narayanan, Qi Li +1
We present the Cosmic Sands suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations based on the Simba galaxy formation model in order to study the build up of the first massive and dusty galaxi…
High Molecular-Gas to Dust Mass Ratios Predicted in Most Quiescent Galaxies
Katherine E. Whitaker, Desika Narayanan, Christina C. Williams +15
Observations of cold molecular gas reservoirs are critical for understanding the shutdown of star formation in massive galaxies. While dust continuum is an efficient and affordable…
