Description
Unraveling the gas cycling in and around galaxies is pivotal to understanding their evolution. To tackle this complex, nonlinear process, I introduce "RIGEL", a novel galaxy formation model that integrates radiative transfer with low-temperature cooling/heating, HII region modeling, and resolved supernova feedback from individual massive stars. In this talk, I will talk about some of RIGEL's key features and the impact of radiative transfer on star formation, interstellar medium, and galactic outflows. Finally, I will highlight how detailed modeling of fine-structure line cooling can significantly affect the star formation rate in low-metallicity dwarf galaxies.
