The Fates of the Circumgalactic Medium in the FIRE Simulations
Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +7
We analyze the different fates of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in FIRE-2 cosmological simulations, focusing on the redshifts z=0.25 and z=2 representative of recent surveys. Our…
Properties of the Circumgalactic Medium in Cosmic Ray-Dominated Galaxy Halos
Suoqing Ji, T. K. Chan, Cameron B. Hummels +6
We investigate the impact of cosmic rays (CRs) on the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in FIRE-2 simulations, for ultra-faint dwarf through Milky Way (MW)-mass halos hosting star-formin…
Dark and luminous satellites of LMC-mass galaxies in the FIRE simulations
Ethan D. Jahn, Laura V. Sales, Andrew Wetzel +5
Within CDM, dwarf galaxies like the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are expected to host numerous dark matter subhalos, several of which should host faint dwarf companions. Recent…
But What About... Cosmic Rays, Magnetic Fields, Conduction, & Viscosity in Galaxy Formation
Philip F. Hopkins, T. K. Chan, Shea Garrison-Kimmel +6
We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological simulations, using the FIRE-2 feedback physics together with explicit treatment of magnetic fields, anisotropic conduction and vi…
Star formation histories of dwarf galaxies in the FIRE simulations: dependence on mass and Local Group environment
Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel, Phillip F. Hopkins +13
We study star formation histories (SFHs) of dwarf galaxies (stellar mass ) from FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. We compare dwarf…
