Faucher-Giguère galaxy formation group. Resources for students and pdocs. Feedback-regulated star formation and the FIRE simulations. August 11, 2013. August 12, 2014. Galaxies convert their gas into stars at a rate which is typically only a few percent of what unimpeded gravitational collapse would imply. Understanding why star formation is so slow in galaxies is a central problem in astrophysics. Equivalently, what is the origin of the Kennicutt-Schmidt law. Based on the small-scale properties of super...

Faucher-Giguère galaxy formation group. Resources for students and pdocs. The ionizing background, from the ultraviolet to the x-rays, is a fundamental ingredient to both theoretical and empirical studies of both the intergalactic medium and galaxy formation as it determines the ionization balance of light elements as well as the thermal history of cosmic gas through photoheating. HI photoionization rate vs. z and detailed UV background spectrum at z=3 in our fiducial model [1]. 8211; December 2011 update.
