Discrete effects in stellar feedback: Individual Supernovae, Hypernovae, and IMF Sampling in Dwarf Galaxies.
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 2018 October
Using high-resolution simulations from the FIRE-2 (Feedback In Realistic Environments) project, we study the effects of discreteness in stellar feedback processes on the evolution of galaxies and the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM). We specifically consider the discretization of supernovae (SNe), including hypernovae (HNe), and sampling the initial mass function (IMF). We study these processes in cosmological simulations of dwarf galaxies with z = 0 stellar masses M * ~ 104 -3 × 106 M⊙ (halo masses ~109 -1010 M⊙ ). We show that the discrete nature of individual SNe (as opposed to a model in which their energy/momentum deposition is continuous overtime, similar to stellar winds) is crucial in generating a reasonable ISM structure and galactic winds and in regulating dwarf stellar masses. However, once SNe are discretized, accounting for the effects of IMF sampling on continuous mechanisms such as radiative feedback and stellar mass-loss (as opposed to adopting IMF-averaged rates) has weak effects on galaxy-scale properties. We also consider the effects of rare HNe events with energies ~1053 erg. The effects of HNe are similar to the effects of clustered explosions of SNe - which are already captured in our default simulation setup - and do not quench star formation (provided that the HNe do not dominate the total SNe energy budget), which suggests that HNe yield products should be observable in ultra-faint dwarfs today.
