Baryonic solutions and challenges for cosmological models of dwarf galaxies
Galaxies and their dark-matter haloes have posed several challenges to the dark energy
plus cold dark matter (Λ CDM) cosmological model. These discrepancies between …

Cool outflows in galaxies and their implications
Neutral-atomic and molecular outflows are a common occurrence in galaxies, near and far.
They operate over the full extent of their galaxy hosts, from the innermost regions of galactic …

A survey of high-z galaxies: serra simulations
We introduce serra, a suite of zoom-in high-resolution (, at z= 7.7) cosmological simulations
including non-equilibrium chemistry and on-the-fly radiative transfer. The outputs are post …

The dynamics and outcome of star formation with jets, radiation, winds, and supernovae in concert
We analyse the first giant molecular cloud (GMC) simulation to follow the formation of
individual stars and their feedback from jets, radiation, winds, and supernovae, using the …

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 …
