ABSTRACT Using the First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations, a suite of hydrodynamical simulations, we explore the consequences of a realistic model for star–dust geometry on the observed properties of galaxies. We find that the ultraviolet (UV) attenuation declines rapidly from the central re...
