Unveiling the Origins of the Molecular Gas Reservoirs in Recently Quenched Massive Galaxies
E. Savitch, D. Narayanan, D. J. Setton +13
Observations of quenched galaxies across cosmic time have revealed systems containing substantial molecular gas reservoirs, challenging the traditional picture of gas-poor, red and…
SQuIGGE: Spatially resolved NIRSpec Pa reveals that the most CO-luminous, post-starburst galaxies exhibit falling---but still active---star formation behind optically thick dust
David J. Setton, Jenny E. Greene, Rachel Bezanson +13
One of the fundamental uncertainties in the study of galaxies at the interface between star formation and quiescence--post-starburst galaxies--is their instantaneous star formation…
Ultraviolet diversity of Little Red Dots as a probe for direct-collapse black hole ages
Elia Cenci, Melanie Habouzit, Dale D. Kocevski
Little Red Dots (LRDs) uncovered by the James Webb Space Telescope have been proposed as candidate galaxies hosting embedded accreting direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs), yet the…
Igniting galaxy formation in the post-reionization universe
Jorge Moreno, Coral Wheeler, Francisco J. Mercado +9
It is widely believed that the ultraviolet background produced during the epoch of reionization conspires against the formation of low-mass galaxies. Indeed, this mechanism is ofte…
The Nature of Post-Starburst Galaxies: Real Deal or Masquerading Impostors?
Elia Cenci, Robert Feldmann, Sarah Wellons +7
Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are a population of galaxies with spectral and photometric features indicative of rapid quenching following a recent starburst. The origin and nature…
SQuIGGE: Buried star formation cannot explain the rapidly fading CO(2-1) luminosity in massive, post-starburst galaxies
David J. Setton, Justin S. Spilker, Rachel Bezanson +12
Observational and theoretical studies have long held that rapid gas consumption in starbursts is responsible for the formation of quiescent galaxies. However, studies of recently q…
Little Red Dots as Direct-collapse Black Hole Nurseries
Elia Cenci, Melanie Habouzit
The James Webb Space Telescope recently uncovered a population of massive black holes (BHs) in the first billion years after the Big Bang. Among these high-redshift BH candidates,…
A novel sub-grid model for super-Eddington accretion of spinning black holes in galaxy-scale simulations
Wei-Bo Kao, Pedro R. Capelo, Elia Cenci +3
Super-Eddington accretion has been proposed to explain the existence of black holes (BHs) with masses exceeding a billion solar masses within the first billion years after the Big…
EMBER-2: Emulating baryons from dark matter across cosmic time with deep modulation networks
Mauro Bernardini, Robert Feldmann, Jindra Gensior +6
Galaxy formation is a complex problem that connects large scale cosmology with small scale astrophysics over cosmic timescales. Hydrodynamical simulations are the most principled a…
Inflow and outflow properties, not total gas fractions, drive the evolution of the mass-metallicity relation
Luigi Bassini, Robert Feldmann, Jindra Gensior +5
Observations show a tight correlation between the stellar mass of galaxies and their gas-phase metallicity (MZR). This relation evolves with redshift, with higher-redshift galaxies…
Starburst-induced gas-stars kinematic misalignment
Elia Cenci, Robert Feldmann, Jindra Gensior +4
A kinematic misalignment of the stellar and gas components is a phenomenon observed in a significant fraction of galaxies. However, the underlying physical mechanisms are not well…
Starbursts driven by central gas compaction
Elia Cenci, Robert Feldmann, Jindra Gensior +3
Starburst (SB) galaxies are a rare population of galaxies with star formation rates (SFRs) greatly exceeding those of the majority of star-forming galaxies with similar stellar mas…
The inefficiency of stellar feedback in driving galactic outflows in massive galaxies at high redshift
L. Bassini, R. Feldmann, J. Gensior +5
Recent observations indicate that galactic outflows are ubiquitous in high redshift galaxies, including normal star forming galaxies, quasar hosts, and dusty star forming galaxies…
FIREbox: Simulating galaxies at high dynamic range in a cosmological volume
Robert Feldmann, Eliot Quataert, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +11
We introduce a suite of cosmological volume simulations to study the evolution of galaxies as part of the Feedback in Realistic Environments project. FIREbox, the principal simulat…
Non-isotropic feedback from accreting spinning black holes
Luca Sala, Elia Cenci, Pedro R. Capelo +2
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are massive black holes (BHs) caught in the act of accreting gas at the centre of their host galaxies. Part of the accreting mass is converted to energ…
Black hole spin evolution in warped accretion discs
Elia Cenci, Luca Sala, Alessandro Lupi +2
Massive black holes (BHs) inhabiting galactic nuclei can be described by two parameters only, i.e. mass and spin, that change through cosmic time in response to accretion and merge…
