Predictions for the spatial distribution of the dust continuum emission in 1<z<5 star-forming galaxies

Understand

We present the first detailed study of the spatially-resolved dust continuum emission of simulated galaxies at 1<z<5.

• We run the radiative transfer code SKIRT on a sample of submillimeter-bright galaxies drawn from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project.
• These simulated galaxies reach Milky Way masses by z=2.
• Our modelling provides predictions for the full rest-frame far-ultraviolet-to-far-infrared spectral energy distributions of these simulated galaxies, as well as 25-pc-resolution maps of their emission across the wavelength spectrum.
