Tests of subgrid models for star formation using simulations of isolated disk galaxies (2024)
Journal Article
Nobels, F. S. J., Schaye, J., Schaller, M., Ploeckinger, S., Chaikin, E., & Richings, A. J. (online). Tests of subgrid models for star formation using simulations of isolated disk galaxies. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Article stae1390. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1390

We use smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations of isolated Milky Way-mass disk galaxies that include cold, interstellar gas to test subgrid prescriptions for star formation (SF). Our fiducial model combines a Schmidt law with a gravitational inst... Read More about Tests of subgrid models for star formation using simulations of isolated disk galaxies.

Journal Article
Thompson, O. A., Richings, A. J., Gibson, B. K., Faucher-Giguère, C.-A., Feldmann, R., & Hayward, C. C. (2024). Predictions for CO emission and the CO-to-H2 conversion factor in galaxy simulations with non-equilibrium chemistry. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 532(2), 1948-1965. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1486

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...

Physical Review D, 109(12), Article 123010. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.109.123010

Pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently reported evidence for the presence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) in their datasets. The main candidate that is expected to produce such a GWB is the population of supermassive black hole bi... Read More about Modeling nonstationary noise in pulsar timing array data analysis.

Do galaxy mergers prefer under-dense environments? (2024)
Journal Article
Sureshkumar, U., Durkalec, A., Pollo, A., Pearson, W., Farrow, D., Narayanan, A., Loveday, J., Taylor, E., & Suelves, L. (2024). Do galaxy mergers prefer under-dense environments?. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 686, Article A40. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202347705

Context. Galaxy mergers play a crucial role in galaxy evolution. However, the correlation between mergers and the local environment of galaxies is not fully understood. Aims. We aim to address the question of whether galaxy mergers prefer denser or... Read More about Do galaxy mergers prefer under-dense environments?.
