Global radiation signature from early structure formation
Boyuan Liu, Jason Jaacks, Steven L. Finkelstein +1
We use cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations to study early structure formation in two dark matter (DM) cosmologies, the standard CDM model, and a thermal warm DM (WDM) mod…
Legacy of star formation in the pre-reionization universe
Jason Jaacks, Steven L. Finkelstein, Volker Bromm
We utilize GIZMO, coupled with newly developed sub-grid models for Population~III (Pop~III) and Population~II (Pop~II), to study the legacy of star formation in the pre-reionizatio…
Dust in the first galaxies
Jason Jaacks, Steven L. Finkelstein, Volker Bromm
Using cosmological volume simulations and a custom built sub-grid model for Pop~III star formation, we examine the baseline dust extinction in the first galaxies due to Pop~III met…
Baseline Metal Enrichment from Population III Star Formation in Cosmological Volume Simulations
Jason Jaacks, Robert Thompson, Steven L. Finkelstein +1
We utilize the hydrodynamic and N-body code {\small GIZMO} coupled with our newly developed sub-grid Population~III (Pop~III) Legacy model, designed specifically for cosmological v…
Connecting the Dots: Tracking Galaxy Evolution Using Constant Cumulative Number Density at 3<z<7
Jason Jaacks, Steven L. Finkelstein, Kentaro Nagamine
Using the cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamical code GADGET-3 we make a realistic assessment of the technique of using constant cumulative number density as a tracer of gal…
The Evolution of the Galaxy Rest-Frame Ultraviolet Luminosity Function Over the First Two Billion Years
Steven L. Finkelstein, Russell E. Ryan, Casey Papovich +26
We present a robust measurement and analysis of the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function at z=4-8. We use deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging over the CANDELS/GOODS fiel…
Impact of H_2-based star formation model on the z>=6 luminosity function and the ionizing photon budget for reionization
Jason Jaacks, Robert Thompson, Kentaro Nagamine
We present the results of a numerical study examining the effect of H_2-based star formation (SF) model on the rest-frame UV luminosity function and star formation rate function (S…
Molecular hydrogen regulated star formation in cosmological SPH simulations
Robert Thompson, Kentaro Nagamine, Jason Jaacks +1
It has been shown observationally that star formation (SF) correlates tightly with the presence of molecular hydrogen (H). Therefore it would be important to investigate its im…
Duty Cycle and the Increasing Star Formation History of z>=6 Galaxies
Jason Jaacks, Kentaro Nagamine, Jun-Hwan Choi
We examine the duty cycle and the history of star formation (SFH) for high-redshift galaxies at z>=6 using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. We find that, even though individu…
Steep Faint-end Slopes of Galaxy Mass and Luminosity Functions at z>=6 and the Implications for Reionisation
Jason Jaacks, Jun-Hwan Choi, Kentaro Nagamine +2
We present the results of a numerical study comparing photometric and physical properties of simulated z=6-9 galaxies to the observations taken by the WFC3 instrument aboard the Hu…
