The MASSIVE SURVEY XXI: Local Variations in the Stellar Initial Mass Function of MASSIVE Early-Type Galaxies

Meng Gu, Jenny E. Greene, Andrew B. Newman +2

Extensive evidence suggests that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) varies among early-type galaxies (ETGs), but spatially resolved studies within individual galaxies are limi…

A stellar dynamical mass measurement of an inactive black hole at redshift 2

Andrew B. Newman, Meng Gu, Sirio Belli +34

Supermassive black holes and their host galaxies grow together over time, producing correlations between the black hole mass and various galaxy properties. Determining the evolutio…

Clues to inside-out quenching in quiescent galaxies at : Age, Fe-, and Mg-abundance gradients from JWST-SUSPENSE

Chloe M. Cheng, Martje Slob, Mariska Kriek +16

[Abridged] Spatially resolved stellar populations of massive quiescent galaxies at cosmic noon provide powerful insights into quenching and assembly mechanisms. Previous photometri…

Are Nucleosynthetic Yields Universal? Interpreting the Multi-Elemental Abundances of Quiescent Galaxies over Cosmic Time Using Milky Way Stars

Aliza G. Beverage, David H. Weinberg, Mariska Kriek +3

The detailed abundance patterns of quiescent galaxies offer powerful constraints on their formation and evolution. Yet physical insight remains elusive, as nucleosynthetic yields a…

Resolved Maps of Gas and Dust in a Massive Quiescent Galaxy at z=2 from INQUEST-JWST: Evidence of Accretion and Rejuvenation

Sai Gangula, Andrew B. Newman, Meng Gu +10

Quiescent galaxies in the distant universe exhibit a range of gas content that may indicate a variety of quenching processes are at play. Mapping the distribution and kinematics of…

Bottom-heavy initial mass functions reveal hidden mass in early galaxies

Chloe M. Cheng, Martje Slob, Mariska Kriek +21

JWST observations have revealed that massive galaxies formed and evolved far faster than predicted by galaxy formation models, with many having already assembled a large mass in st…
