Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). Exploring the complexity of quenching processes across time, environment, and mass through recently quenched galaxies

Euclid Collaboration, Z. Mao, L. Pozzetti +308

Recently quenched galaxies (RQGs) provide insights into galaxy quenching. We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of RQGs using the first Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1)…

Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations -- VII: The connection between the most luminous active galactic nuclei and galaxy interactions

Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, David R. Patton, Sara L. Ellison +5

We investigate the connection between the most luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN), galaxy pairs, and post-mergers in the IllustrisTNG simulation. We select galaxy pairs and post…

The ALMaQUEST Survey XI: A strong but non-linear relationship between star formation and dynamical equilibrium pressure

Sara L. Ellison, Hsi-An Pan, Asa F. L. Bluck +9

We present the extended ALMA MaNGA QUEnching and STar formation survey, a combination of the original 46 ALMaQUEST galaxies plus new ALMA observations for a further 20 interacting…

The interconnection between galaxy mergers, AGN activity and rapid quenching of star formation in simulated post-merger galaxies

Salvatore Quai, Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Sara L. Ellison +2

We investigate the role of galaxy mergers on supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion and star formation quenching in three state-of-the-art cosmological simulations with contrasti…

Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations -- IV: Enhanced Supermassive Black Hole Accretion Rates in Post-Merger Galaxies

Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Maan Hani, Sara Ellison +2

We present an analysis of the instantaneous supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion rates in a collection of 1563 post-merger galaxies drawn from the IllustrisTNG simulation. Our…

Galaxy mergers can rapidly shut down star formation

Sara L. Ellison, Scott Wilkinson, Joanna Woo +6

Galaxy mergers trigger both star formation and accretion onto the central supermassive black hole. As a result of subsequent energetic feedback processes, it has long been proposed…

Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations -- III: (the rarity of) quenching in post-merger galaxies

Salvatore Quai, Maan H. Hani, Sara L. Ellison +2

Galaxy mergers are traditionally one of the favoured mechanisms for quenching star formation. To test this paradigm in the context of modern cosmological simulations, we use the Il…

The dust and cold gas content of local star forming galaxies

P. Popesso, A. Concas, L. Morselli +3

We use dust masses () derived from far-infrared data and molecular gas masses () based on CO luminosity, to calibrate proxies based on a combination of the galax…
