Nuclear star clusters
We review the current knowledge about nuclear star clusters (NSCs), the spectacularly
dense and massive assemblies of stars found at the centers of most galaxies. Recent …

Star Clusters Near and Far: Tracing Star Formation Across Cosmic Time
Star clusters are fundamental units of stellar feedback and unique tracers of their host
galactic properties. In this review, we will first focus on their constituents, ie detailed insight …

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
Way masses) are dominated by uncertainties in stellar evolution inputs. In this paper, we …

Galaxies lacking dark matter produced by close encounters in a cosmological simulation
The standard cold dark matter plus cosmological constant model predicts that galaxies form
within dark-matter haloes, and that low-mass galaxies are more dark-matter dominated than …
