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 …

Starbursts in low-mass haloes at Cosmic Dawn. I. The critical halo mass for star formation
The first stars, galaxies, star clusters, and direct-collapse black holes are expected to have
formed in low-mass (∼ 105–109 M⊙) haloes at Cosmic Dawn (z∼ 10–30) under conditions …
