Spiral arms are metal freeways: azimuthal gas-phase metallicity variations in flocculent discs in the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations

ABSTRACT We examine the azimuthal variations in gas-phase metallicity profiles in simulated Milky Way-mass disc galaxies from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) cosmological zoom-in simulation suite, which includes a sub-grid turbulent metal mixing model. We produce spatially resolved m...
