Characterizing the roles of transitory obscured phases and inner torus in shaping the fractions of obscured AGN at cosmic noon

Alba V. Alonso-Tetilla, Francesco Shankar, Fabio Fontanot +11

The origin of obscuration in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is still a matter of contention. It is unclear whether obscured AGN are primarily due to line-of-sight effects, a transito…

Probing the co-evolution of SMBHs and their hosts from scaling relations pairwise residuals: dominance of stellar velocity dispersion and host halo mass

Francesco Shankar, Mariangela Bernardi, Daniel Roberts +17

The correlations between Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies still defy our understanding from both the observational and theoretical perspectives. Here we per…

StAGE: Stellar Archaeology-driven Galaxy Evolution

Michele Bosi, Andrea Lapi, Lumen Boco +10

We build a semi-empirical framework of galaxy evolution (dubbed StAGE) firmly grounded on stellar archaeology. The latter provides data-driven prescriptions that, on a population s…

Shedding light on the star formation rate-halo accretion rate connection and halo quenching mechanism via DECODE, the Discrete statistical sEmi-empiriCal mODEl

Hao Fu, Lumen Boco, Francesco Shankar +9

Aims: The relative roles of the physical mechanisms involved in quenching galaxy star formation are still unclear. We tackle this fundamental problem with our cosmological semi-emp…

Semi-empirical Estimates of the Cosmic Planet Formation Rate

Andrea Lapi, Lumen Boco, Francesca Perrotta +1

We devise and exploit a data-driven, semi-empirical framework of galaxy formation and evolution, coupling it to recipes for planet formation from stellar and planetary science, to…

Unveiling the (in)consistencies among the galaxy stellar mass function, star formation histories, satellite abundances and intracluster light from a semi-empirical perspective

Hao Fu, Francesco Shankar, Mohammadreza Ayromlou +16

In a hierarchical, dark matter-dominated Universe, stellar mass functions (SMFs), galaxy merger rates, star formation histories (SFHs), satellite abundances, and intracluster light…
