Towards precise galaxy evolution: a comparison between spectral indices of galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulation and the LEGA-C survey

Po-Feng Wu, Dylan Nelson, Arjen van der Wel +13

We present the first comparison of observed stellar continuum spectra of high-redshift galaxies and mock galaxy spectra generated from hydrodynamical simulations. The mock spectra…

Rejuvenation in quiescent galaxies in LEGA-C

Priscilla Chauke, Arjen van der Wel, Camilla Pacifici +12

We use reconstructed star-formation histories (SFHs) of quiescent galaxies at in the LEGA-C survey to identify secondary star-formation episodes that, after an initial pe…

An Absence of Radio-Loud Active Galactic Nuclei in Geometrically Flat Quiescent Galaxies: Implications for Maintenance-Mode Feedback Models

Ivana Barišić, Arjen van der Wel, Josha van Houdt +7

Maintenance-mode feedback from low-accretion rate AGN, manifesting itself observationally through radio-loudness, is invoked in all cosmological galaxy formation models as a mechan…
