Our ability to trace the star-forming molecular gas is important to our understanding of the Universe. We can trace this gas using CO emission, converting the observed CO intensity into the H2 gas mass of the region using the CO-to-H2 conversion fact...

We investigate the formation of dense stellar clumps in a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a massive, star-forming galaxy at z ∼ 2 under the presence of strong quasar winds. Our simulations include multiphase ISM physics f... Read More about Dense stellar clump formation driven by strong quasar winds in the FIRE cosmological hydrodynamic simulations.

The attenuation of radiation due to dust depends on the composition and optical properties of the dust grains. This is fundamental to determine the impact of radiation on chemical evolution. In this chapter, we discuss how we can compute grain proper... Read More about The interplay between dust and radiation.
