A Model for the Onset of Self-gravitation and Star Formation in Molecular Gas Governed by Galactic Forces: I. Cloud-scale Gas Motions
Sharon E. Meidt, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +10
Modern extragalactic molecular gas surveys now reach the scales of star-forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs, 20-50 pc). Systematic variations in GMC properties with galaxy environ…
The origin of the diverse morphologies and kinematics of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations
Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel +11
We use hydrodynamic cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project to explore the morphologies and kinematics of fifteen Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies. Our sample ranges fro…
Copious Amounts of Dust and Gas in a z=7.5 Quasar Host Galaxy
Bram Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli +10
We present IRAM/NOEMA and JVLA observations of the quasar J1342+0928 at z=7.54 and report detections of copious amounts of dust and [CII] emission in the interstellar medium (ISM)…
Clumpy Galaxies in CANDELS. II. Physical Properties of UV-bright Clumps at
Yicheng Guo, Marc Rafelski, Eric F. Bell +20
Studying giant star-forming clumps in distant galaxies is important to understand galaxy formation and evolution. At present, however, observers and theorists have not reached a co…
Reconciling observed and simulated stellar halo masses
Robyn E. Sanderson, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel +6
We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies from the FIRE project to evaluate various strategies for estimating the mass of a galaxy's stellar halo fr…
Group quenching and galactic conformity at low redshift
M. Treyer, K. Kraljic, S. Arnouts +13
We quantify the quenching impact of the group environment using the spectroscopic survey Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) to z=0.2. The fraction of red (quiescent) galaxies, whether…
Modeling the Impact of Baryons on Subhalo Populations with Machine Learning
Ethan O. Nadler, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa H. Wechsler +2
We identify subhalos in dark matter-only (DMO) zoom-in simulations that are likely to be disrupted due to baryonic effects by using a random forest classifier trained on two hydrod…
The ALMA Frontier Fields Survey - IV. Lensing-corrected 1.1 mm number counts in Abell 2744, MACSJ0416.1-2403 and MACSJ1149.5+2223
A. M. Muñoz Arancibia, J. González-López, E. Ibar +15
[abridged] Characterizing the number counts of faint, dusty star-forming galaxies is currently a challenge even for deep, high-resolution observations in the FIR-to-mm regime. They…
Selecting ultra-faint dwarf candidate progenitors in cosmological N-body simulations at high redshifts
Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Alexander P. Ji, Gregory A. Dooley +4
The smallest satellites of the Milky Way ceased forming stars during the epoch of reionization and thus provide archaeological access to galaxy formation at . Numerical studie…
An 800-million-solar-mass black hole in a significantly neutral Universe at redshift 7.5
E. Bañados, B. P. Venemans, C. Mazzucchelli +15
Quasars are the most luminous non-transient objects known and as a result they enable studies of the Universe at the earliest cosmic epochs. Despite extensive efforts, however, the…
The extent of chemically enriched gas around star-forming dwarf galaxies
Sean D. Johnson, Hsiao-Wen Chen, John S. Mulchaey +2
Supernova driven winds are often invoked to remove chemically enriched gas from dwarf galaxies to match their low observed metallicities. In such shallow potential wells, outflows…
SMHASH: Anatomy of the Orphan Stream using RR Lyrae stars
David Hendel, Victoria Scowcroft, Kathryn V. Johnston +30
Stellar tidal streams provide an opportunity to study the motion and structure of the disrupting galaxy as well as the gravitational potential of its host. Streams around the Milky…
Global Properties of M31's Stellar Halo from the SPLASH Survey: III. Measuring the Stellar Velocity Dispersion Profile
Karoline M. Gilbert, Erik Tollerud, Rachael L. Beaton +7
We present the velocity dispersion of red giant branch (RGB) stars in M31's halo, derived by modeling the line of sight velocity distribution of over 5000 stars in 50 fields spread…
The origin of ultra diffuse galaxies: stellar feedback and quenching
T. K. Chan, D. Kereš, A. Wetzel +5
We test if the cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated galaxies from the FIRE project reproduce the properties of ultra diffuse galaxies. We show that stellar feedback-generat…
Crowded Field Galaxy Photometry: Precision Colors in the CLASH Clusters
Thomas Connor, Megan Donahue, Daniel D. Kelson +8
We present a new method for photometering objects in galaxy clusters. We introduce a mode-filtering technique for removing spatially variable backgrounds, improving both detection…
Lost but not Forgotten: Intracluster Light in Galaxy Groups and Clusters
Tahlia DeMaio, Anthony H. Gonzalez, Ann Zabludoff +4
With Hubble Space Telescope imaging, we investigate the progenitor population and formation mechanisms of the intracluster light (ICL) for 23 galaxy groups and clusters ranging fro…
The Magellan Evolution of Galaxies Spectroscopic and Ultraviolet Reference Atlas (MEGaSaURA) I: The Sample and the Spectra
