  • 2008 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

James S. Bullock is affiliated with the University of California, Irvine in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on Physics and Astronomy, with significant contributions in the subfields of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Instrumentation, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, and to a lesser extent, General Health Professions.

Their scholarly output spans 192 publications, with a concentration in topics related to the formation, evolution, and phenomena of galaxies. Other notable research areas include astronomy and astrophysical research, stellar, planetary, and galactic studies, astrophysics and star formation studies, dark matter and cosmic phenomena, cosmology and gravitation theories, as well as scientific research and discoveries.

James S. Bullock's work is frequently published in several venues, most notably in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society with 32 publications. Other key publication outlets include arXiv (Cornell University), The Astrophysical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, and The American Journal of Gastroenterology.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Bullock illustrate a strong engagement with galaxy formation and cosmic phenomena. Some of these publications include:

  • A dark matter profile to model diverse feedback-induced core sizes of ΛCDM haloes, 2020, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • Public Data Release of the FIRE-2 Cosmological Zoom-in Simulations of Galaxy Formation, 2023, The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
  • FIRE-3: updated stellar evolution models, yields, and microphysics and fitting functions for applications in galaxy simulations, 2022, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • The time-scales probed by star formation rate indicators for realistic, bursty star formation histories from the FIRE simulations, 2020, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • Spatially resolved star formation and fuelling in galaxy interactions, 2020, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

Collaborations play a significant role in Bullock's research. Frequent co-authors include Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Andrew Wetzel, Philip F. Hopkins, Jorge Moreno, and Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach to astrophysical research.

Among awards, James S. Bullock was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2008, recognizing contributions within the scientific community.
