Particle tagging and its implications for stellar population dynamics
Theo Le Bret, Andrew Pontzen, Andrew P. Cooper +5
We establish a controlled comparison between the properties of galactic stellar halos obtained with hydrodynamical simulations and with `particle tagging'. Tagging is a fast way to…
Compaction and Quenching of High-z Galaxies in Cosmological Simulations: Blue and Red Nuggets
Adi Zolotov, Avishai Dekel, Nir Mandelker +7
We use cosmological simulations to study a characteristic evolution pattern of high redshift galaxies. Early, stream-fed, highly perturbed, gas-rich discs undergo phases of dissipa…
Keck-I MOSFIRE spectroscopy of compact star-forming galaxies at z2: High velocity dispersions in progenitors of compact quiescent galaxies
G. Barro, J. R. Trump, D. C. Koo +28
We present Keck-I MOSFIRE near-infrared spectroscopy for a sample of 13 compact star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at redshift with star formation rates of SFR100…
CANDELS+3D-HST: compact SFGs at z~2-3, the progenitors of the first quiescent galaxies
G. Barro, S. M. Faber, P. G. Perez-Gonzalez +32
We analyze the star-forming and structural properties of 45 massive (log(M/Msun)>10) compact star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at 2<z<3 to explore whether they are progenitors of compac…
Toy Models for Galaxy Formation versus Simulations
A. Dekel, A. Zolotov, D. Tweed +3
We describe simple useful toy models for key processes of galaxy formation in its most active phase, at z > 1, and test the approximate expressions against the typical behaviour in…
A Baryonic Solution to the Missing Satellites Problem
Alyson M. Brooks, Michael Kuhlen, Adi Zolotov +1
It has been demonstrated that the inclusion of baryonic physics can alter the dark matter densities in the centers of low-mass galaxies, making the central dark matter slope more s…
