MEGATRON: how the first stars can create an iron metallicity plateau in the smallest dwarf galaxies

We study the stellar mass-iron metallicity relation of dwarf galaxies in the new high-resolution MEGATRON cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. These simulations model galaxy formation up to z ≈ 8 in a region that will collapse into a Milky-Way-like galaxy at z = 0 ,...
