Abstract: Using high-resolution simulations with explicit treatment of stellar feedback physics based on the FIRE (Feedback In Realistic Environments) project, we study how galaxy formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) are affected by magnetic fields, anisotropic… read more here.

Abstract: The quenching ‘maintenance’ and related ‘cooling flow’ problems are important in galaxies from Milky Way mass through clusters. We investigate this in haloes with masses ∼$10^{12}\!-\!10^{14}\, {\rm M}_{\odot }$, using non-cosmological high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations with… read more here.

Abstract: Using high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic simulations of idealized, non-cosmological galaxies, we investigate how cooling, star formation and stellar feedback affect galactic magnetic fields. We find that the amplification histories, saturation values and morphologies of the magnetic fields… read more here.
