In a Perspective article recently published by Nature Astronomy, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère summarizes recent progress in simulating galaxy formation from the largest to the smallest scales. …
New animations of gas flows in the circum-galactic medium and of supermassive black hole growth in the FIRE simulations from Anglés-Alcázar et al. (2017a) and …
Liang et al., available on arXiv Abstract: Recent long wavelength observations on the thermal dust continuum suggest that the Rayleigh-Jeans (RJ) tail can be used …
El-Badry et al., available on arXiv Abstract: The oldest stars in the Milky Way (MW) bear imprints of the Galaxy’s early assembly history. We use …
