Decoding the Galactic Twirl: The Downfall of Milky Way-mass Galaxies Rotation Curves in the FIRE Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Xiaowei Ou, Lina Necib, Andrew Wetzel, Anna Frebel, Jeremy Bailin | Summary: Recent measurements of the Milky Way rotation curve found a sharp decline at around $15$-$20$ kpc from the center of the Galaxy, suggesting that the Galactic dark matter halo is much less massive than predicted […]

An Oasis in the Brown Dwarf Desert: Confirmation of Two Low-mass Transiting Brown Dwarfs Discovered by TESS

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Elina Y. Zhang, Theron W. Carmichael, Daniel Huber, Keivan G. Stassun, Akihiko Fukui | Summary: As the intermediate-mass siblings of stars and planets, brown dwarfs (BDs) are vital to study for a better understanding of how objects change across the planet-to-star mass range. Here, we report two […]

The THESAN-ZOOM project: central starbursts and inside-out quenching govern galaxy sizes in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella, Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan, Ewald Puchwein | Summary: We explore the evolution of galaxy sizes at high redshift ($3 < z < 13$) using the high-resolution THESAN-ZOOM radiation-hydrodynamics simulations, focusing on the mass range of $10^6,mathrm{M}_{odot} < mathrm{M}_{ast} < 10^{10},mathrm{M}_{odot}$. Our analysis reveals […]
