SPEAKER: Drummond Fielding (Flatiron Institute)
TITLE: Bridging the divide: A multi-scale approach to Galaxy
formation
ABSTRACT:
Galaxies lie at the nexus of modern astrophysical pursuits. They are an
essential cosmological probe, and set the environment in which stars
form and compact objects merge. As such, galaxies are crucial to all of
astrophysics, and yet our grasp of how they evolve is incomplete. The
key lies in understanding the complicated balance between inflows and
outflows that shape galaxies and regulate the amount of fuel available
for star formation and black hole growth. Understanding these galactic
gas flows has, to date, been inhibited by the seemingly insurmountable
range of spatial and temporal scales inherent to the governing
processes. I will describe our efforts to bridge this vast range of
scales and illuminate the principles underlying galaxy formation. I will
cover how micro-scale (~sub-pc) processes, such as turbulent mixing and
radiative cooling, connect with meso-scale (~kpc) processes, such as
supernova-driven galactic winds, and how—when combined using a novel
cosmological multi-scale model that we call Arkenstone—they shape the
macro-scale (~Mpc) galactic properties and dynamics. Taken together,
these efforts aim to usher in a new era of truly predictive galaxy
modeling.
