The environmental dependence of gas accretion onto galaxies: quenching satellites through starvation
Freeke van de Voort, Yannick M. Bahé, Richard G. Bower +4
Galaxies that have fallen into massive haloes may no longer be able to accrete gas from their surroundings, a process referred to as 'starvation' or 'strangulation' of satellites.…
Theoretical Challenges in Galaxy Formation
Thorsten Naab, Jeremiah P. Ostriker
Numerical simulations have become a major tool for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. Over the decades the field has made significant progress. It is now possible to sim…
The Size Evolution of Star-forming Galaxies Since z~7 Using ZFOURGE
Rebecca J. Allen, Glenn G. Kacprzak, Karl Glazebrook +10
For the first time, we present the size evolution of a mass-complete (log(M*/Msol)>10) sample of star-forming galaxies over redshifts z=1-7, selected from the FourStar Galaxy Evolu…
SDSS IV MaNGA: Deep observations of extra-planar, diffuse ionized gas around late-type galaxies from stacked IFU spectra
A. Jones, G. Kauffmann, R. D'Souza +16
We have conducted a study of extra-planar diffuse ionized gas using the first year data from the MaNGA IFU survey. We have stacked spectra from 49 edge-on, late-type galaxies as a…
A Black Hole Mass Determination for the Compact Galaxy Mrk 1216
Jonelle L. Walsh, Remco C. E. van den Bosch, Karl Gebhardt +4
Mrk 1216 is a nearby, early-type galaxy with a small effective radius of 2.8 kpc and a large stellar velocity dispersion of 308 km/s for its K-band luminosity of 1.4x10^11 L_sun. U…
Faraday tomography of the local interstellar medium with LOFAR: Galactic foregrounds towards IC342
C. L. Van Eck, M. Haverkorn, M. I. R. Alves +18
The new generation of low-frequency radio telescopes, such as the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR: a Square Kilometre Array-low pathfinder), provides advancements in our capability of p…
Characterizing dw1335-29, a recently discovered dwarf satellite of M83
Andreia Carrillo, Eric Bell, Jeremy Bailin +4
The number, distribution, and properties of dwarf satellites are crucial probes of the physics of galaxy formation at low masses and the response of satellite galaxies to the tidal…
Tracing the first stars and galaxies of the Milky Way
Brendan F. Griffen, Gregory A. Dooley, Alexander P. Ji +3
We use 30 high-resolution dark matter halos of the simulation suite to probe the first stars and galaxies of Milky Way-mass systems. We quantify the environment of th…
Cold gas stripping in satellite galaxies: from pairs to clusters
Toby Brown, Barbara Catinella, Luca Cortese +6
In this paper we investigate environment driven gas depletion in satellite galaxies, taking full advantage of the atomic hydrogen (HI) spectral stacking technique to quantify the g…
Diverse Stellar Haloes in Nearby Milky Way-Mass Disc Galaxies
Benjamin Harmsen, Antonela Monachesi, Eric F. Bell +4
We have examined the resolved stellar populations at large galactocentric distances along the minor axis (from 10 kpc up to between 40 and 75 kpc), with limited major axis coverage…
Galaxy formation in the Planck cosmology - IV. Mass and environmental quenching, conformity and clustering
Bruno M. B. Henriques, Simon D. M. White, Peter A. Thomas +4
We study the quenching of star formation as a function of redshift, environment and stellar mass in the galaxy formation simulations of Henriques et al. (2015), which implement an…
The impact of magnetic fields on the chemical evolution of the supernova-driven ISM
Anabele-Linda Pardi, Philipp Girichidis, Thorsten Naab +7
We present three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the self-gravitating interstellar medium (ISM) in a periodic (256 pc) box with a mean number density of 0.5 c…
Post-Newtonian dynamical modeling of supermassive black holes in galactic-scale simulations
Antti Rantala, Pauli Pihajoki, Peter H. Johansson +3
We present KETJU, a new extension of the widely-used smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation code GADGET-3. The key feature of the code is the inclusion of algorithmically regul…
Dynamical masses and non-homology of massive elliptical galaxies grown by dry mergers
Matteo Frigo, Marc Balcells
We study whether dry merger-driven size growth of massive elliptical galaxies depends on their initial structural concentration, and analyse the validity of the homology hypothesis…
AKARI near-infrared background fluctuations arise from normal galaxy populations
Kári Helgason, Eiichiro Komatsu
We show that measurements of the fluctuations in the near-infrared background (NIRB) from the AKARI satellite can be explained by faint galaxy populations at low redshifts. We demo…
Red nuggets grow inside-out: evidence from gravitational lensing
Lindsay Oldham, Matt Auger, Chris Fassnacht +7
We present a new sample of strong gravitational lens systems where both the foreground lenses and background sources are early-type galaxies. Using imaging from HST/ACS and Keck/NI…
H0LiCOW VI. Testing the fidelity of lensed quasar host galaxy reconstruction
Xuheng Ding, Kai Liao, Tommaso Treu +11
The empirical correlation between the mass of a super-massive black hole (MBH) and its host galaxy properties is widely considered to be evidence of their co-evolution. A powerful…
The turbulent life of dust grains in the supernova-driven, multi-phase interstellar medium
Thomas Peters, Svitlana Zhukovska, Thorsten Naab +6
Dust grains are an important component of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. We present the first direct measurement of the residence times of interstellar dust in the diff…
