Simulating the interstellar medium of galaxies with radiative transfer, non-equilibrium thermochemistry, and dust by Kannan, Rahul, Marinacci, Federico, Vogelsberger, Mark, Sales, Laura V, Torrey, Paul, Springel, Volker, Hernquist, Lars

“…We present a novel framework to self-consistently model the effects of radiation fields, dust physics, and molecular chemistry (H2) in the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. The model combines a state-of-the-art radiation hydrodynamics module with a H  and He  non-equilibrium thermochemistry module that accounts for H2 coupled to an empirical dust formation and destruction model, all integrated into the new stellar feedback framework SMUGGLE. …”

Simulating the dust content of galaxies: successes and failures by McKinnon, Ryan, Torrey, Paul, Vogelsberger, Mark, Hayward, Christopher C, Marinacci, Federico

“…We extend the dust model in AREPO to include thermal sputtering of grains and investigate the evolution of the dust mass function, the cosmic distribution of dust beyond the interstellar medium and the dependence of dust-to-stellar mass ratio on galactic properties. …”

First Results from the TNG50 Simulation: Galactic outflows driven by supernovae and black hole feedback by Nelson, Dylan, Pillepich, Annalisa, Springel, Volker, Pakmor, Rüdiger, Weinberger, Rainer, Genel, Shy, Torrey, Paul, Vogelsberger, Mark, Marinacci, Federico, Hernquist, Lars

“…The median spatial resolution of star-forming interstellar medium gas is ∼100−140 pc. This resolution approaches or exceeds that of modern 'zoom' simulations of individual massive galaxies, while the volume contains ∼20 000 resolved galaxies with M* ≳ 107 M☉. …”

The evolution of the mass-metallicity relation and its scatter in IllustrisTNG by Torrey, Paul, Vogelsberger, Mark, Marinacci, Federico, Pakmor, Rüdiger, Springel, Volker, Nelson, Dylan, Naiman, Jill, Pillepich, Annalisa, Genel, Shy, Weinberger, Rainer, Hernquist, Lars

“…Our simulations indicate that the metal retention efficiency of the interstellar medium (ISM) is low: a majority of gas-phase metals ($\sim$ 85 per cent at $z=0$) live outside of the ISM, either in an extended gas disk, the circumgalactic medium, or outside the halo. …”

Dust formation in Milky Way-like galaxies by McKinnon, Ryan, Torrey, Paul, Vogelsberger, Mark, McKinnon, Ryan Michael, Torrey, Paul A.

“…Our simulations predict a dust content of the interstellar medium which is consistent with observed scaling relations at z = 0, including scalings between dust-to-gas ratio and metallicity, dust mass and gas mass, dust-to-gas ratio and stellar mass, and dust-to-stellar mass ratio and gas fraction. …”

A redshift-dependent IRX–β dust attenuation relation for TNG50 galaxies by Schulz, Sebastian, Popping, Gergö, Pillepich, Annalisa, Nelson, Dylan, Vogelsberger, Mark, Marinacci, Federico, Hernquist, Lars

“…We select 7280 star-forming main-sequence (SFMS) galaxies with stellar mass ≥109 M⊙ at redshifts 0 ≤ z ≤ 4 and perform radiative transfer with skirt to model effects of interstellar medium dust on the emitted stellar light. Assuming a Milky Way dust type and a dust-to-metal ratio of 0.3, we find that TNG50 SFMS galaxies generally agree with observationally derived IRX-β relations at z ≳ 1. …”

Gas-phase metallicity gradients of TNG50 star-forming galaxies by Hemler, ZS, Torrey, Paul, Qi, Jia, Hernquist, Lars, Vogelsberger, Mark, Ma, Xiangcheng, Kewley, Lisa J, Nelson, Dylan, Pillepich, Annalisa, Pakmor, Rüdiger, Marinacci, Federico

“…If future JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) and ELT (Extremely Large Telescope) observations validate these flat gradients, it may indicate a need for simulation models to implement more powerful radial gas mixing within the ISM (interstellar medium), possibly via turbulence and/or stronger winds.…”
