From Feedback-Free Star Clusters to Little Red Dots via Compaction

Avishai Dekel, Dhruba Dutta Chowdhury, Sharon Lapiner +6

We address the origin of the Little Red Dots (LRDs) seen by JWST at cosmic morning () as compact stellar systems with over-massive black holes (BHs). We propose…

From FFB Starbursts at Cosmic Dawn to Quenching at Cosmic Morning: Hi-z Galaxy Bimodality

Avishai Dekel, Nir Mandelker, Zhaozhou Li +5

We propose a mass-dependent bimodality in the early evolution of galaxies. The massive track connects the super-bright galaxies at cosmic dawn () to the super-massive quiesc…

Mini-quenching of galaxies by bursty star formation

Tibor Dome, Sandro Tacchella, Anastasia Fialkov +5

The recent reported discovery of a low-mass and an intermediate-mass quenched galaxy with JWST/NIRSpec is the first evidence of halted star formation above $z\appro…

Wet Compaction to a Blue Nugget: a Critical Phase in Galaxy Evolution

Sharon Lapiner, Avishai Dekel, Jonathan Freundlich +6

We utilize high-resolution cosmological simulations to reveal that high-redshift galaxies tend to undergo a robust `wet compaction' event when near a `golden' stellar mass of $\sim…

Core Formation in High-z Massive Haloes: Heating by Post Compaction Satellites and Response to AGN Outflows

Avishai Dekel, Jonathan Freundlich, Fangzhou Jiang +6

Observed rotation curves in star-forming galaxies indicate a puzzling dearth of dark matter in extended flat cores within haloes of mass at . T…

Compaction-Driven Black Hole Growth

Sharon Lapiner, Avishai Dekel, Yohan Dubois

We study the interplay between galaxy evolution and central black-hole (BH) growth using the {NewHorizon} cosmological simulation. BH growth is slow when the dark-matter halo is be…
