What Causes The Formation of Disks and End of Bursty Star Formation?
Hopkins et al., available on arXiv Abstract: As they grow, galaxies can transition from irregular/spheroidal with ‘bursty’ star formation histories (SFHs), to disky with smooth …

The imprint of bursty star formation on alpha-element abundance patterns in Milky Way-like galaxies
Parul et al., available on arXiv Abstract: Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations demonstrate two main modes of star formation. At high redshifts star …
Disk settling and dynamical heating: histories of Milky Way-mass stellar disks across cosmic time in the FIRE simulations
McCluskey et al., available on arXiv Abstract: We study the kinematics of stars both at their formation and today within 14 Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies …
[CII] 158 um emission as an indicator of galaxy star formation rate
Liang et al., available on arXiv Abstract: Observations of local star-forming galaxies (SFGs) show a tight correlation between their singly ionized carbon line luminosity (L[CII]) …
The dark side of FIRE: predicting the population of dark matter subhaloes around Milky Way-mass galaxies

A jolt to the system: ram pressure on low-mass galaxies in simulations of the Local Group
Samuel et al., available on arXiv Abstract: Low-mass galaxies are highly susceptible to environmental effects that can efficiently quench star formation. We explore the role …
Orientations of DM Halos in FIRE-2 Milky Way-mass Galaxies
Baptista et al., available on arXiv Abstract: The shape and orientation of dark matter (DM) halos are sensitive to the micro-physics of the DM particle, …
A unified model for the co-evolution of galaxies and their circumgalactic medium: the relative roles of turbulence and atomic cooling physics
Pandya et al., available on arXiv Abstract: The circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a pivotal role in regulating gas flows around galaxies and thus shapes their …
The inefficiency of stellar feedback in driving galactic outflows in massive galaxies at high redshift
