NM Förster Schreiber, S Wuyts - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Ever deeper and wider look-back surveys have led to a fairly robust outline of the cosmic
star-formation history, which culminated around; this period is often nicknamed “cosmic …

A review of recent observations of galactic winds driven by star formation

Galaxy-scale outflows of gas, or galactic winds (GWs), driven by energy from star formation
are a pivotal mechanism for regulation of star formation in the current model of galaxy …

What causes the formation of discs and end of bursty star formation?

PF Hopkins, AB Gurvich, X Shen… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
As they grow, galaxies can transition from irregular/spheroidal with 'bursty'star formation
histories (SFHs), to discy with smooth SFHs. But even in simulations, the direct physical …

FIRE-3: updated stellar evolution models, yields, and microphysics and fitting functions for applications in galaxy simulations

PF Hopkins, A Wetzel, C Wheeler… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Increasingly, uncertainties in predictions from galaxy formation simulations (at sub-Milky
