CEERS Key Paper. I. An Early Look into the First 500 Myr of Galaxy Formation with JWST [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 We present an investigation into the first 500 Myr of galaxy evolution from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey. CEERS, one of 13 JWST ERS programs, targets galaxy formation from z ∼ 0.5 to >10 using several imaging and ...

Galaxy Formation and Reionization: Key Unknowns and Expected Breakthroughs by the James Webb Space Telescope [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in late 2021 marks a new start for studies of galaxy formation at high redshift ( z ≳ 6) during the era of cosmic reionization.

Astraeus I: the interplay between galaxy formation and reionization [PDF]
, 2020 We introduce a new self-consistent model of galaxy evolution and reionization, ASTRAEUS (semi-numerical rAdiative tranSfer coupling of galaxy formaTion and Reionization in N-body dArk mattEr simUlationS), which couples a state-of-the-art N-body ...

FIRE-2 simulations: physics versus numerics in galaxy formation [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 The Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project explores feedback in cosmological galaxy formation simulations. Previous FIRE simulations used an identical source code (“FIRE-1”) for consistency.

Simulating galaxy formation with the IllustrisTNG model [PDF]
, 2017 We introduce an updated physical model to simulate the formation and evolution of galaxies in cosmological, large-scale gravity+magnetohydrodynamical simulations with the moving mesh code AREPO.

Shark: introducing an open source, free, and flexible semi-analytic model of galaxy formation [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We present a new, open source, free semi-analytic model (SAM) of galaxy formation, Shark, designed to be highly flexible and modular, allowing easy exploration of different physical processes and ways of modelling them. We introduce the philosophy behind

The E-MOSAICS project: tracing galaxy formation and assembly with the age–metallicity distribution of globular clusters [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 We present 25 cosmological zoom-in simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the `MOdelling Star cluster population Assembly In Cosmological Simulations within EAGLE' (E-MOSAICS) project.

EDGE: the mass–metallicity relation as a critical test of galaxy formation physics [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 We introduce the ‘Engineering Dwarfs at Galaxy Formation’s Edge’ (EDGE) project to study the cosmological formation and evolution of the smallest galaxies in the Universe.

Simulating galaxy formation with black hole driven thermal and kinetic feedback [PDF]
, 2016 The inefficiency of star formation in massive elliptical galaxies is widely believed to be caused by the interactions of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with the surrounding gas.

A Lonely Giant: The Sparse Satellite Population of M94 Challenges Galaxy Formation [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 The dwarf satellites of “giant” Milky Way (MW)–mass galaxies are our primary probes of low-mass dark matter halos. The number and velocities of the satellite galaxies of the MW and M31 initially puzzled galaxy formation theorists, but are now reproduced ...
