Galactic Morpholography: Linking present-day galaxy compactness to assembly history and relic formation in the COLIBRE simulations
Maximilian Zemsch, Claudia D. P. Lagos, Chiara Spiniello +11
Compactness is widely used to identify candidate relic galaxies, the largely untouched survivors of the first compact massive galaxies. Yet relicness is an evolutionary rather than…
Sleeping or Dead? Probing the Quenching Mechanism of JWST Dormant Galaxies at z > 3 with ALMA
Mengyuan Xiao, Songnan Qi, Pascal A. Oesch +16
JWST has revealed a population of "dormant'' galaxies at z>3 with strong Balmer breaks and weak emission lines, whose star formation appears to have declined only recently. Whether…
The formation of supermassive black holes from Population III.1 seeds. IV. Self-regulated seeding from supermassive star ionizing feedback
Maya A. Petkova, Jonathan C. Tan, Jasbir Singh +5
Supermassive Population III.1 stars, i.e., formed from pristine, metal-free gas leading to conditions where dark matter annihilation heating is significant, have been proposed as t…
MEGATRON: the impact of non-equilibrium effects and local radiation fields on the circumgalactic medium at cosmic noon
Corentin Cadiou, Harley Katz, Martin P. Rey +22
We present three cosmological radiation-hydrodynamic zoom simulations of the progenitor of a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the MEGATRON suite. The simulations combine on-the-fly radia…
MEGATRON: Reproducing the Diversity of High-Redshift Galaxy Spectra with Cosmological Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations
Harley Katz, Martin P. Rey, Corentin Cadiou +21
We present the MEGATRON suite of cosmological radiation hydrodynamics simulations following the formation of Milky Way-mass galaxies from the earliest cosmic epochs when Population…
MEGATRON: how the first stars can create an iron metallicity plateau in the smallest dwarf galaxies
Martin P. Rey, Harley Katz, Corentin Cadiou +23
We study the stellar mass-iron metallicity relation of dwarf galaxies in the new high-resolution MEGATRON cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. These simulations model…
The Emergence and Ionizing Feedback of Pop III.1 Stars as Progenitors for Supermassive Black Holes
Mahsa Sanati, Jonathan C. Tan, Julien Devriendt +9
Recent observations by JWST reveal an unexpectedly abundant population of rapidly growing supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early Universe, underscoring the need for improved…
On the rapid growth of SMBHs in high-z galaxies: the aftermath of Population III.1 stars
Mahsa Sanati, Julien Devriendt, SergioMartin-Alvarez +2
The vast amount of energy released by active galactic nuclei (AGN) is increasingly recognized as a key driver of evolution not only in massive galaxies and clusters, but also in lo…
The Pandora project. II: how non-thermal physics drives bursty star formation and temperate mass-loaded outflows in dwarf galaxies
Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Debora Sijacki, Martin G. Haehnelt +11
Dwarf galaxies provide powerful laboratories for studying galaxy formation physics. Their early assembly, shallow gravitational potentials, and bursty, clustered star formation his…
The Origin of Supermassive Black Holes from Pop III.1 Seeds
Jonathan C. Tan, Jasbir Singh, Vieri Cammelli +4
The origin of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is a key open question for contemporary astrophysics and cosmology. Here we review the features of a cosmological model of SMBH forma…
Dwarf galaxies as a probe of a primordially magnetized Universe
Mahsa Sanati, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Jennifer Schober +3
The true nature of primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) and their role in the formation of galaxies still remains elusive. To shed light on these unknowns, we investigate their impact…
How much metals did the first stars provide to the ultra-faint dwarfs?
Mahsa Sanati, Fabien Jeanquartier, Yves Revaz +1
Numerical simulations of dwarf galaxies have so far failed to reproduce the observed metallicity-luminosity relation, down to the ultra-faint dwarfs (UFDs). We address this issue e…
Constraining the primordial magnetic field with dwarf galaxy simulations
Mahsa Sanati, Yves Revaz, Jennifer Schober +2
Using a set of cosmological hydro-dynamical simulations, we constrained the properties of primordial magnetic fields by studying their impact on the formation and evolution of dwar…
