How galaxies acquire their stellar mass at high redshift: High star formation efficiencies and the relative roles of dust and initial mass function
Hao Fu, Francesco Shankar, Fabio Fontanot +9
JWST has measured an unprecedented abundance of galaxies above , whose formation and evolution are still difficult to reconcile within traditional galaxy evolution mo…
Euclid: Disky titans -- surprisingly high star formation efficiency in two brightest group galaxies at
F. Gentile, E. Daddi, D. Elbaz +165
We present the discovery of two disky titans in the first data release of the Euclid satellite. These sources are massive () star-forming (SFR /…
AGILE: an end-to-end Rubin-LSST simulation of AGNs, galaxies, and stars I. Software description and first data release
A. Viitanen, A. Bongiorno, I. Saccheo +37
Contemporary large-scale surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and Euclid present an unprecedented discovery potential for studying A…
Too many or too massive? Investigating the high- demography of active SMBHs from JWST
Daniel Roberts, Francesco Shankar, Vieri Cammelli +12
Recent JWST observations have unveiled a numerous population of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) at , with space densities roughly an order of magnitude above p…
The role of black hole feedback on galaxy star formation and the degeneracy with halo quenching
Hao Fu, Francesco Shankar, Feng Yuan +9
The interplay between the accretion of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the stellar mass growth of the host galaxies is still a matter of hot debate. The accretion of the SMBHs…
Semi-empirical Framework of Supermassive Black Hole Evolution: Highlighting a possible tension between Demographics and Gravitational Wave Background
Andrea Lapi, Francesco Shankar, Michele Bosi +4
The evolution of the supermassive Black Hole (BH) population across cosmic times remains a central unresolved issue in modern astrophysics, due to the many noticeable uncertainties…
