Mergers may not be the main channel for galaxy stellar mass growth at redshift : Predictions from cosmological hierarchical models and simulations

Hao Fu, Mohammadreza Ayromlou, Francesco Shankar +13

Mergers are a crucial channel of galaxy growth, but their role relative to star formation remains uncertain at high redshift. Here we investigate merger rates and merger-driven ste…

Reconstructing the Projected Dark Matter Field across 0.1-100 Mpc Scales from the SDSS Survey

Kunyao Zhao, Yingjie Peng, Dingyi Zhao +16

Dark matter sets the gravitational environment in which galaxies form and evolve, but cannot be observed directly. We present a conditional diffusion model that reconstructs the pr…

No Detectable One-halo Galactic Conformity Signal with Halo-mass Estimates Consistent with Weak-lensing Constraints

Dingyi Zhao, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho +17

One-halo galactic conformity is the tendency for satellites in halos with quenched centrals to have lower star-formation activity than those in halos with star-forming centrals at…

PhotoIFU: NIRCam as a Photometric Integral Field Unit for Mapping Feedback in Galaxies

Yongda Zhu, Marcia J. Rieke, Courtney Carreira +25

We present PhotoIFU, a workflow that uses deep multi-band imaging as a low-resolution photometric integral field unit. Applied to PSF-matched JWST/NIRCam imaging, PhotoIFU treats e…

Satellite quenching by radio jets of central galaxies in galaxy groups

Yijun Wang, Tao Wang, Dingyi Zhao +9

Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is now recognized as a key component of galaxy formation models. It plays a central role in regulating the growth and quenching of galaxi…

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…

Causal Reversal in the $M_\unicode{x25CF}\unicode{x2013}σ_0$ Relation: Implications for High-Redshift Supermassive Black Hole Mass Estimates

Benjamin L. Davis, Saakshi More, Zehao Jin +3

The nascent methodology of applying the principles of causal discovery to astrophysical data has produced affirming results about deeply held theories concerning the causal nature…

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…

A Potential Link between Nuclear Winds and Cold Gas Outflows on Kiloparsec Scales in Reionization-Era Quasars

Yongda Zhu, Marcia J. Rieke, Luis C. Ho +23

Feedback from accreting supermassive black holes may regulate galaxy evolution, but statistical evidence linking nuclear winds to kiloparsec-scale cold gas outflows remains limited…

From Halos to Galaxies. VI. Improved halo mass estimation for SDSS groups and measurement of the halo mass function

Dingyi Zhao, Yingjie Peng, Yipeng Jing +18

In CDM cosmology, galaxies form and evolve in their host dark matter (DM) halos. Halo mass is crucial for understanding the halo-galaxy connection. The abundance matching (AM) t…
