The Intrinsic Scatter of the Radial Acceleration Relation

Connor Stone, Stephane Courteau

We present a detailed Monte Carlo model of observational errors in observed galaxy scaling relations to recover the intrinsic (cosmic) scatter driven by galaxy formation and evolut…

On The Role of Supermassive Black Holes in Quenching Star Formation in Local Central Galaxies

Nikhil Arora, Matteo Fossati, Fabio Fontanot +2

In this work, we analyze the role of AGN feedback in quenching star formation for massive, central galaxies in the local Universe. In particular, we compare the prediction of two s…

CHANG-ES XVI: An in-depth view of the cosmic-ray transport in the edge-on spiral galaxies NGC 891 and NGC 4565

Philip Schmidt, Marita Krause, Volker Heesen +8

Cosmic-ray electrons (CREs) originating from the star-forming discs of spiral galaxies frequently form extended radio haloes that are best observable in edge-on galaxies. For the p…

Pipe3D Stellar and Gaseous Velocity Dispersions for CALIFA Galaxies

Colleen Gilhuly, Stéphane Courteau, Sebastian F. Sánchez

We present tables of velocity dispersions derived from CALIFA V1200 datacubes using Pipe3D. Four different dispersions are extracted from emission (ionized gas) or absorption (stel…

Evolving Galactic Dynamos and Fits to the Reversing Rotation Measures in the Halo of NGC 4631

Alex Woodfinden, Richard Henriksen, Judith Irwin +1

Rotation measure (RM) synthesis maps of NGC 4631 show remarkable sign reversals with distance from the minor axis in the northern halo of the galaxy on kpc scales. To explain this…
