In-situ vs accreted Milky Way globular clusters: a new classification method and implications for cluster formation

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We present a new scheme for the classification of the in-situ and accreted globular clusters (GCs). The scheme uses total energy $E$ and $z$-component of the orbital angular momentum and is calibrated using [Al/Fe] abundance ratio. We demonstrate that […]

Simulating ionization feedback from young massive stars: impact of numerical resolution

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Rahul Kannan, Aaron Smith, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Modelling galaxy formation in hydrodynamic simulations has increasingly adopted various radiative transfer methods to account for photoionization feedback from young massive stars. However, the evolution of HII regions around stars begins in dense star-forming clouds […]

Representing low mass black hole seeds in cosmological simulations: A new sub-grid stochastic seed model

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aklant K Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Rainer Weinberger, Luke Zoltan Kelley | Summary: The nature of the first seeds of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is currently unknown, with postulated initial masses ranging from $sim10^5~M_{odot}$ to as low as $sim10^2~M_{odot}$. However, most existing cosmological simulations resolve BHs […]

Small-scale signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity in k-Nearest Neighbour cumulative distribution functions

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: William R. Coulton, Tom Abel, Arka Banerjee, , | Summary: Searches for primordial non-Gaussianity in cosmological perturbations are a key means of revealing novel primordial physics. However, robustly extracting signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity from non-linear scales of the late-time Universe is an open problem. In this paper, […]
