The merger rate of galaxies in the Illustris Simulation: a comparison with observations and semi-empirical models
Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Shy Genel, Mark Vogelsberger +9
We have constructed merger trees for galaxies in the Illustris Simulation by directly tracking the baryonic content of subhalos. These merger trees are used to calculate the galaxy…
The Illustris simulation: the evolving population of black holes across cosmic time
Debora Sijacki, Mark Vogelsberger, Shy Genel +5
We study the properties of black holes and their host galaxies across cosmic time in the Illustris simulation. Illustris is a large scale cosmological hydrodynamical simulation whi…
Introducing the Illustris Project: the evolution of galaxy populations across cosmic time
Shy Genel, Mark Vogelsberger, Volker Springel +6
We present an overview of galaxy evolution across cosmic time in the Illustris Simulation. Illustris is an N-body/hydrodynamical simulation that evolves 2*1820^3 resolution element…
Morphological evolution of supermassive black hole merger hosts and multimessenger signatures
Colin DeGraf, Debora Sijacki, Tiziana Di Matteo +3
With projects such as Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and Pulsar Timing Arrays expected to detect gravitational waves from supermassive black hole mergers in the near fut…
The Faint End of the Cluster Galaxy Luminosity Function at High Redshift
Conor Mancone, Troy Baker, Anthony H. Gonzalez +7
We measure the faint end slope of the galaxy luminosity function (LF) for cluster galaxies at 1<z<1.5 using Spitzer IRAC data. We investigate whether this slope, alpha, differs fro…
