IQ Collaboratory II: The Quiescent Fraction of Isolated, Low Mass Galaxies Across Simulations and Observations

Claire M Dickey, Tjitske K Starkenburg, Marla Geha +10

We compare three major large-scale hydrodynamical galaxy simulations (EAGLE, Illustris-TNG, and SIMBA) by forward modeling simulated galaxies into observational space and computing…

The breakBRD Breakdown: Using IllustrisTNG to Track the Quenching of an Observationally-Motivated Sample of Centrally Star-Forming Galaxies

Claire Kopenhafer, Tjitske K. Starkenburg, Stephanie Tonnesen +1

The observed breakBRD ("break bulges in red disks") galaxies are a nearby sample of face-on disk galaxies with particularly centrally concentrated star formation: they have red dis…

The time-scales probed by star formation rate indicators for realistic, bursty star formation histories from the FIRE simulations

José A. Flores Velázquez, Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +10

Understanding the rate at which stars form is central to studies of galaxy formation. Observationally, the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies are measured using the luminosity…

The Diversity and Variability of Star Formation Histories in Models of Galaxy Evolution

Kartheik G. Iyer, Sandro Tacchella, Shy Genel +10

Understanding the variability of galaxy star formation histories (SFHs) across a range of timescales provides insight into the underlying physical processes that regulate star form…

First results from SMAUG: The need for preventative stellar feedback and improved baryon cycling in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation

Viraj Pandya, Rachel S. Somerville, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar +10

Semi-analytic models (SAMs) are a promising means of tracking the physical processes associated with galaxy formation, but many of their approximations have not been rigorously tes…
