Why do high-redshift galaxies show diverse gas-phase metallicity gradients?

Xiangcheng Ma, Philip F. Hopkins, Robert Feldmann +3

Recent spatially resolved observations of galaxies at z=0.6-3 reveal that high-redshift galaxies show complex kinematics and a broad distribution of gas-phase metallicity gradients…

The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. II: Isolated Disk Test

Ji-hoon Kim, Oscar Agertz, Romain Teyssier +40

Using an isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy simulation, we compare results from 9 state-of-the-art gravito-hydrodynamics codes widely used in the numerical community. We utilize the in…

Colours, Star formation Rates, and Environments of Star forming and Quiescent Galaxies at the Cosmic Noon

Robert Feldmann, Eliot Quataert, Philip F. Hopkins +2

We analyse the star formation rates (SFRs), colours, and dust extinctions of galaxies in massive (10^12.5-10^13.5 Msun) haloes at z~2 in high-resolution, cosmological zoom-in simul…

ALMA observations of Lyman-alpha Blob 1: halo sub-structure illuminated from within

J. E. Geach, D. Narayanan, Y. Matsuda +28

We present new Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) 850um continuum observations of the original Lyman-alpha Blob (LAB) in the SSA22 field at z=3.1 (SSA22-LAB01). Th…

Low-Redshift Lyman Limit Systems as Diagnostics of Cosmological Inflows and Outflows

Z. Hafen, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, D. Angles-Alcazar +6

We use cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with stellar feedback from the FIRE project to study the physical nature of Lyman limit systems (LLSs) at z<1. At these low redshifts,…

The impact of stellar feedback on hot gas in galaxy haloes: the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and soft X-ray emission

Freeke van de Voort, Eliot Quataert, Philip F. Hopkins +5

The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect and soft X-ray emission are routinely observed around massive galaxies and in galaxy groups and clusters. We study these observational di…
