Modeling galaxy formation in a cosmological context presents one of the greatest
challenges in astrophysics today due to the vast range of scales and numerous physical …

Far-infrared and submillimeter wavelength surveys have now established the important role
of dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) in the assembly of stellar mass and the evolution of …

The analysis of complex multiphysics astrophysical simulations presents a unique and
rapidly growing set of challenges: reproducibility, parallelization, and vast increases in data …

Context. Galaxy mergers and interactions are an integral part of our basic understanding of
how galaxies grow and evolve over time. However, the effect that galaxy mergers have on …

We investigate the spatial structure and evolution of star formation and the interstellar
medium (ISM) in interacting galaxies. We use an extensive suite of parsec-scale galaxy …

We present hydrodynamic simulations of a major merger of disk galaxies, and study the
interstellar medium (ISM) dynamics and star formation (SF) properties. High spatial and …

We study supermassive black holes (BHs) in merging galaxies, using a suite of
hydrodynamical simulations with very high spatial (∼ 10 pc) and temporal (∼ 1 Myr) …

Nuclear inflows of metal-poor interstellar gas triggered by galaxy interactions can account
for the systematically lower central oxygen abundances observed in local interacting …

An updated version of the dust radiation-transfer code sunrise, including models for star-
forming regions and a self-consistent calculation of the spatially dependent dust and PAH …

Galaxies are missing most of their baryons, and many models predict these baryons lie in a
hot halo around galaxies. We establish observationally motivated constraints on the mass …
