Are the fates of supermassive black holes and galaxies determined by individual mergers, or by the properties of their host haloes?
Jonathan J. Davies, Andrew Pontzen, Robert A. Crain
The fates of massive galaxies are tied to the evolution of their central supermassive black holes (BHs), due to the influence of AGN feedback. Correlations within simulated galaxy…
Environmental effects in Herschel observations of the ionized carbon content of star forming dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster
Robert Minchin, Dario Fadda, Rhys Taylor +2
We use archival Herschel data to examine the singly ionized carbon ([CII]) content of 14 star forming dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster. We use spectral energy distribution (SED)…
Galaxy mergers can initiate quenching by unlocking an AGN-driven transformation of the baryon cycle
Jonathan J. Davies, Andrew Pontzen, Robert A. Crain
We use zoom simulations to show how merger-driven disruption of the gas disc in a galaxy provides its central active galactic nucleus (AGN) with fuel to drive outflows that entrain…
Predictions for the X-ray circumgalactic medium of edge-on discs and spheroids
Anna Nica, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Robert A. Crain +5
We investigate how the X-ray circumgalactic medium (CGM) of present-day galaxies depends on galaxy morphology and azimuthal angle using mock observations generated from the EAGLE c…
An EAGLE's View of Ex-situ Galaxy Growth
Thomas A. Davison, Mark A. Norris, Joel L. Pfeffer +2
Modern observational and analytic techniques now enable the direct measurement of star formation histories and the inference of galaxy assembly histories. However, current theoreti…
Quenching and morphological evolution due to circumgalactic gas expulsion in a simulated galaxy with a controlled assembly history
Jonathan J. Davies, Robert A. Crain, Andrew Pontzen
We examine the influence of dark matter halo assembly on the evolution of a simulated galaxy. Starting from a zoom-in simulation of a star-forming galaxy evolved wit…
