Fast, Slow, Early, Late: Quenching Massive Galaxies at z~0.8

Sandro Tacchella, Charlie Conroy, S. M. Faber +14

We investigate the stellar populations for a sample of 161 massive, mainly quiescent galaxies at with deep Keck/DEIMOS rest-frame optical spectros…

A New Empirical Method to Infer the Starburst History of the Universe from Local Galaxy Properties

Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist

The centers of bulges are formed dissipationally via gas inflows over short timescales: the 'starburst' mode of star formation (SF). Recent work has shown that detailed observation…

Incidence Rate of GRB-host-DLAs at High Redshift

Kentaro Nagamine, Bing Zhang, Lars Hernquist

We study the incidence rate of damped Ly-a systems associated with the host galaxies of gamma-ray bursts (GRB-host-DLAs) as functions of neutral hydrogen column density (N_HI) and…

Building Galaxies with Simulations

Romeel Davé, Kristian Finlator, Lars Hernquist +4

We present an overview of some of the issues surrounding current models of galaxy formation, highlighting recent insights obtained from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. Detai…

The Evolution of the M-sigma Relation

Brant Robertson, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +4

(Abridged) We examine the evolution of the black hole mass - stellar velocity dispersion (M-sigma) relation over cosmic time using simulations of galaxy mergers that include feedba…

Mapping the Cosmic Web with Ly-alpha Emission

Steven Furlanetto, Joop Schaye, Volker Springel +1

We use a high-resolution cosmological simulation to predict the distribution of HI Ly-alpha emission from the low-redshift (z<0.5) intergalactic medium (IGM). Our simulation can be…
