RABBITS IV: Stellar feedback and SMBH merging time-scales in the sub-Milky Way mass regime
Ruby J. Wright, Roosa Heiskanen, Shihong Liao +5
The authors run high‑resolution galaxy merger simulations to examine how the strength of stellar feedback influences the delay between galaxy coalescence and the merger of supermas…
Kennicutt-Schmidt relation of galaxies over 13 billion years in the COLIBRE hydrodynamical simulations
Claudia del P. Lagos, Joop Schaye, Matthieu Schaller +16
We investigate the correlation between star formation rate (SFR) surface density and gas surface density (known as the Kennicutt-Schmidt, KS, relation) at kiloparsec (kpc) scales a…
Metallicity Gradients in Modern Cosmological Simulations II: The Role of Bursty Versus Smooth Feedback at High-Redshift
Alex M. Garcia, Paul Torrey, Aniket Bhagwat +22
The distribution of gas-phase metals within galaxies encodes the impact of stellar feedback on galactic evolution. At high-redshift, when galaxies are rapidly assembling, feedback-…
Metallicity Gradients in Modern Cosmological Simulations I: Tension Between Smooth Stellar Feedback Models and Observations
Alex M. Garcia, Paul Torrey, Aniket Bhagwat +14
The metallicity of galaxies, and its variation with galactocentric radius, provides key insights into the formation histories of galaxies and the physical processes driving their e…
Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS): Satellite Quenching at Intermediate Redshift
L. J. M. Davies, M. F. Fuentealba-Fuentes, R. J. Wright +3
Determining the processes by which galaxies transition from a star-forming to a quiescent state (quenching) is paramount to our understanding of galaxy evolution. One of the key me…
Identifying supermassive black hole recoil in elliptical galaxies
Alexander Rawlings, Atte Keitaanranta, Max Mattero +8
We study stellar core growth in simulations of merging massive () elliptical galaxies by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) displaced by gravitatio…
