Linking orbital history to the quenching of isolated dwarf galaxies

Sophia Um, Devontae C. Baxter, Ethan O. Nadler

Recent discoveries of isolated dwarf galaxies () with no signs of ongoing star formation have challenged the prevailing notion that these…

What becomes of JWST/NIRCam-selected high-redshift massive galaxies?

Devontae C. Baxter, Alison L. Coil, Ethan O Nadler +2

Early JWST/NIRCam surveys revealed a puzzling population of high-redshift massive galaxy candidates largely absent from previous rest-frame UV surveys. Spectroscopic follow-up has…

Distinct origins of environmentally quenched galaxies in the core and outer virialised regions of massive clusters at

Guillaume Hewitt, Florian Sarron, Michael L. Balogh +15

High-redshift () galaxy clusters are the domain where environmental quenching mechanisms are expected to emerge as important factors in the evolution of the quiescent galax…

Insights into environmental quenching at : an enhancement of faint, low-mass passive galaxies in clusters

Harry Gully, Nina Hatch, Syeda Lammim Ahad +11

Understanding the processes that transform star-forming galaxies into quiescent ones is key to unraveling the role of environment in galaxy evolution. We present measurements of th…

Quantifying the Impact of Incompleteness on Identifying and Interpreting Galaxy Protocluster Populations with the TNG-Cluster Simulation

Devontae C. Baxter, Alison L. Coil, Ethan O. Nadler +7

We use the TNG-Cluster simulation to investigate how stellar mass and star formation rate (SFR) incompleteness affect the identification of density peaks within galaxy protocluster…

Caught in the Act of Quenching? -- A Population of Post-Starburst Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies

Loraine Sandoval Ascencio, M. C. Cooper, Dennis Zaritsky +3

We report the discovery of post-starburst ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs), identified through spectroscopic analysis with KCWI at the Keck II Telescope. Our analysis is based on a sa…

The importance of gas starvation in driving satellite quenching in galaxy groups at

Devontae C. Baxter, Sean P. Fillingham, Alison L. Coil +1

We present results from a Keck/DEIMOS survey to study satellite quenching in group environments at within the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). We target groups in the…

The first quenched galaxies, when and how?

Lizhi Xie, Gabriella De Lucia, Fabio Fontanot +11

Many quiescent galaxies discovered in the early Universe by \textit{JWST} raise fundamental questions on when and how these galaxies became and stayed quenched. Making use of the l…

When the Well Runs Dry: Modeling Environmental Quenching of High-mass Satellites in Massive Clusters at \boldmath

Devontae C. Baxter, Michael C. Cooper, Michael L. Balogh +11

We explore models of massive () satellite quenching in massive clusters at using an MCMC framework, focusing on two primary parameters: $R_…

GOGREEN: a critical assessment of environmental trends in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations at z ~ 1

Egidijus Kukstas, Michael L. Balogh, Ian G. McCarthy +28

Recent observations have shown that the environmental quenching of galaxies at z ~ 1 is qualitatively different to that in the local Universe. However, the physical origin of these…

The GOGREEN Survey: Constraining the Satellite Quenching Timescale in Massive Clusters at

Devontae Baxter, Michael Cooper, Michael Balogh +15

We model satellite quenching at by combining massive () clusters at from the GOGREEN and…

A Machine Learning Approach to Measuring the Quenched Fraction of Low-Mass Satellites Beyond the Local Group

Devontae C. Baxter, M. C. Cooper, Sean P. Fillingham

Observations suggest that satellite quenching plays a major role in the build-up of passive, low-mass galaxies at late cosmic times. Studies of low-mass satellites, however, are li…

Reverse Janssen effect in narrow granular columns

Shivam Mahajan, Michael Tennenbaum, Sudhir N. Pathak +6

When grains are added to a cylinder, the weight at the bottom is smaller than the total weight of the column, which is partially supported by the lateral walls through wall/grain f…
