The galaxy-halo connection and the dynamical evolution of a giant disc in a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z~3

G. Quadri, S. Cantalupo, C. Bacchini +9

Recent JWST observations revealed the surprising presence of a giant and massive disc galaxy in a Cosmic Web node at z. This galaxy, named the Big Wheel, has a size almost t…

The hydrodynamical response of cold circumgalactic clouds to quasar radiation

Nicolas Ledos, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Titouan Lazeyras +8

Recent simulations increasingly resolve the small-scale structure of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), but the dynamical impact of ionising radiation on its cold K component…

Resolving circumgalactic gas flows around a z3.6 quasar using MUSE and ALMA

M. Galbiati, A. Pensabene, S. Cantalupo +10

The formation and evolution of galaxies is regulated by the exchange of gas with the surrounding large-scale structures on circum- and intergalactic scales. Yet, little is known ab…

A quiescent galaxy in a gas-rich cosmic web node at z~3

Weichen Wang, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Marta Galbiati +11

Recent JWST observations have unveiled a large number of quiescent galaxies at , bringing potential challenges to current galaxy formation models. Since star formation i…

Metal enrichment of galaxies in a massive node of the Cosmic Web at

Xiaohan Wang, S. Cantalupo, Weichen Wang +8

We present the mass-metallicity relation for star-forming galaxies in the MUSE Quasar Nebula 01 (MQN01) field, a massive cosmic web node at , hosting one of the large…

X-ray view of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z=3 II. Discovery of extended X-ray emission around a hyperluminous QSO

Andrea Travascio, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Gabriele Pezzulli +17

While the warm, ionized gas in the CGM at z>3 is now routinely observed around bright QSOs in Lya emission, little is known about the CGM hot phase due to its expected faintness in…

ALMA survey of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at . II. A dynamically cold and massive disk galaxy in the proximity of a hyperluminous quasar

A. Pensabene, S. Cantalupo, W. Wang +11

Advancing our understanding of the formation and evolution of early massive galaxies and black holes requires detailed studies of dense structures in the high-redshift Universe. In…

The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF) VII. Probing high-redshift gas structures in the surroundings of ALMA-identified massive dusty galaxies

A. Pensabene, M. Galbiati, M. Fumagalli +12

We present new ALMA continuum and spectral observations of the MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF), a arcmin region with ultradeep multiwavelength imaging and spectroscopy…

X-ray view of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z~3 I. An exceptional overdensity of rapidly accreting SMBHs

A. Travascio, S. Cantalupo, P. Tozzi +16

Exploring SMBH population in protoclusters offers valuable insights into how environment affects SMBH growth. However, research on AGN within these areas is still limited by the sm…

Connecting the growth of galaxies to the large-scale environment in a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z~3

M. Galbiati, S. Cantalupo, C. Steidel +10

A direct link between large-scale environment and galaxy properties is very well established in the local universe. However, very little is known about the role of the environment…

A Giant Disk Galaxy Two Billion Years After The Big Bang

Weichen Wang, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Antonio Pensabene +14

Observational studies showed that galaxy disks are already in place in the first few billion years of the universe. The early disks detected so far, with typical half-light radii o…

ALMA survey of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z~3. I. Discovery of a large overdensity of CO emitters

A. Pensabene, S. Cantalupo, C. Cicone +12

Sub-mm surveys toward overdense regions in the early Universe are essential to uncover the obscured star-formation and the cold gas content of assembling galaxies within massive da…

Resolving the physics of Quasar Ly Nebulae (RePhyNe): I. Constraining Quasar host halo masses through Circumgalactic Medium kinematics

Stephanie de Beer, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Andrea Travascio +8

Ly nebulae ubiquitously found around z>2 quasars can supply unique constraints on the properties of the Circumgalactic Medium, such as its density distribution, provided the qua…
