The FIRE simulations are uniquely well suited for studies of the circum-galactic medium (CGM), where the cosmological inflows and galactic winds that regulate star formation …
On July 24-26, CIERA hosted a workshop for the FIRE (Feedback In Realistic Environments) galaxy formation simulation project. This workshop, organized by Prof. Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, …
Ph.D student Niharika Sravan won the first poster prize in the graduate student category at the Computational Research Day held at Northwestern in April 2014. …
Shyam Bharadwaj, a junior in the Integrated Science Program at Northwestern, was awarded a grant from NASA’s Illinois Space Grant Consortium to carry out research …
We are proud and thrilled to have recruited Daniel Angles-Alcazar to join our group as a CIERA Postdoctoral Fellow in fall 2014! Daniel is currently …
We are actively looking for one or more motivated undergraduate students to carry out research in our group. Our state-of-the-art cosmological simulations are particularly well …
This year, CIERA is particularly interested in postdoctoral fellows working in the broad area of galaxy formation and evolution, including star formation, stellar feedback, black …
I am excited to join the Northwestern faculty, where I am starting a new effort in galaxy formation modeling! During the academic year 2013-2014, the …
Galaxies convert their gas into stars at a rate which is typically only a few percent of what unimpeded gravitational collapse would imply. Understanding why …
Our paper on the physics of galactic winds driven by massive black holes has been published: Faucher-Giguère, C.-A. & Quataert, E., “The Physics of Galactic …
