The interconnection between galaxy mergers, AGN activity and rapid quenching of star formation in simulated post-merger galaxies
Salvatore Quai, Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Sara L. Ellison +2
We investigate the role of galaxy mergers on supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion and star formation quenching in three state-of-the-art cosmological simulations with contrasti…
Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations -- IV: Enhanced Supermassive Black Hole Accretion Rates in Post-Merger Galaxies
Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Maan Hani, Sara Ellison +2
We present an analysis of the instantaneous supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion rates in a collection of 1563 post-merger galaxies drawn from the IllustrisTNG simulation. Our…
Simulating Superconducting Properties of Overdoped Cuprates: the Role of Inhomogeneity
Mainak Pal, Andreas Kreisel, W. A. Atkinson +1
Theoretical studies of disordered -wave superconductors have focused, with a few exceptions, on optimally doped models with strong scatterers. Addressing recent controversies ab…
Investigating the Effect of Galaxy Interactions on Star Formation at 0.5<z<3.0
Ekta A. Shah, Jeyhan S. Kartaltepe, Christina T. Magagnoli +24
Observations and simulations of interacting galaxies and mergers in the local universe have shown that interactions can significantly enhance the star formation rates (SFR) and fue…
Galaxy mergers can rapidly shut down star formation
Sara L. Ellison, Scott Wilkinson, Joanna Woo +6
Galaxy mergers trigger both star formation and accretion onto the central supermassive black hole. As a result of subsequent energetic feedback processes, it has long been proposed…
The ALMaQUEST Survey X: What powers merger induced star formation?
Mallory D. Thorp, Sara L. Ellison, Hsi-An Pan +5
Galaxy mergers are known to trigger both extended and central star formation. However, what remains to be understood is whether this triggered star formation is facilitated by enha…
