Resolving the Assembly of Disk Galaxies from the Epoch of Reionisation to Cosmic Noon

Melanie Kaasinen, Mahsa Kohandel, Francesca Rizzo +45

Most of the mass and angular momentum of today's disk galaxies assembled at . Yet, it remains unclear how these galaxies acquired their gas, how their baryons and dark matter…

Unveiling the Baryon Cycle Through Cosmic Time

Manuel Aravena, Leindert A. Boogaard, Jorge González-López +28

Galaxy evolution is governed by the baryon cycle: gas accreted from the cosmic web and circumgalactic medium condenses into molecular gas, forms stars, and is redistributed by stel…
