Philip F. Hopkins,Andrew Wetzel,Andrew Wetzel,Andrew Wetzel,Dušan Kereš,Claude André Faucher-Giguère,Eliot Quataert,Michael Boylan-Kolchin,Norman Murray,Christopher C. Hayward,Shea Garrison-Kimmel,Cameron Hummels,Robert Feldmann,Robert Feldmann,Paul Torrey,Xiangcheng Ma,Daniel Anglés-Alcázar,Kung-Yi Su,Matthew E. Orr,Denise Schmitz,Ivanna Escala,Robyn E.

TL;DR: The Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project explores feedback in cosmological galaxy formation simulations as mentioned in this paper, which has been used to explore new physics (e.g. magnetic fields).
Journal ArticleDOI
Galaxy evolution in groups and clusters: satellite star formation histories and quenching time-scales in a hierarchical Universe
TL;DR: Wetzel et al. as discussed by the authors examined the star formation histories and quenching time-scales of satellites of Mstar g 5 × 109 M⊙ at z ≈ 0.5, or ~5 Gyr ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconciling dwarf galaxies with λcdm cosmology: simulating a realistic population of satellites around a milky way–mass galaxy
Andrew Wetzel,Andrew Wetzel,Andrew Wetzel,Philip F. Hopkins,Ji-hoon Kim,Ji-hoon Kim,Claude André Faucher-Giguère,Dušan Kereš,Eliot Quataert +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Milky Way on Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) model was used to simulate the formation of a small-scale galaxy to z = 0 within the cold dark matter (CDM) model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mergers and bulge formation in ΛCDM: Which mergers matter?
Philip F. Hopkins,Kevin Bundy,Darren J. Croton,Lars Hernquist,Dušan Kereš,Sadegh Khochfar,Kyle R. Stewart,Andrew Wetzel,Joshua D. Younger,Joshua D. Younger +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of semi-empirical models are used to predict the galaxy-galaxy merger rate and relative contributions to bulge growth as a function of mass (both halo and stellar), redshift, and mass ratio.
