The Lifecycle and Emission Properties of PAHs in Cosmological Hydrodynamic Galaxy Formation Simulations
Desika Narayanan, Paul Torrey, Massimiliano Parente +16
We present the first cosmological model for the lifecycle and luminous properties of PAHs in galaxies as they evolve from z=6-->0. We model 40 zoom-in galaxies, coupled with an on-…
A cosmological framework for stellar collisions at high redshift in proto-globular clusters, nuclear star clusters, and Little Red Dots
Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz, Sanaea C. Rose +8
Observations and cosmological simulations indicate that the early Universe hosted numerous compact, high-density stellar systems, where close encounters and physical collisions bet…
Death by Impact: Evidence for Merger-Driven Quenching in a Collisional Ring Galaxy at Cosmic Noon
Amir H. Khoram, Sirio Belli, Carlo Nipoti +7
The role of interactions and mergers in the rapid quenching of massive galaxies in the early Universe remains uncertain, largely due to the difficulty of directly linking mergers t…
The dynamical evolution of the stellar clumps in the Sparkler galaxy
Eric Giunchi, Federico Marinacci, Carlo Nipoti +4
Recent JWST observations detected stellar clumps around the z=1.4 gravitationally lensed Sparkler galaxy (of stellar mass ), with ages and metallici…
The long life of ultra diffuse galaxies inside low-density dark matter halos: the case of AGC 114905
Andrea Afruni, Federico Marinacci, Pavel E. Mancera Piña +1
It has long been known that, in the absence of a dark matter (DM) halo, galaxy discs tend to develop global gravitational instabilities that strongly modify their initial structure…
