The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey - VII. Structure and Assembly of Massive Galaxies in the Center of the Coma Cluster
Tim Weinzirl, Shardha Jogee, Eyal Neistein +16
We constrain the assembly history of galaxies in the projected central 0.5 Mpc of the Coma cluster by performing structural decomposition on 69 massive (M_star >= 10^9 M_sun) galax…
What triggers black-hole growth? Insights from star formation rates
Eyal Neistein, Hagai Netzer
We present a new semi-analytic model for the common growth of black holes (BHs) and galaxies within a hierarchical Universe. The model is tuned to match the mass function of BHs at…
Looking at the relation between haloes and galaxies under the lens
Eyal Neistein, Sadegh Khochfar
We use an empirical approach to model the stellar mass of galaxies according to their host dark-matter haloes and subhaloes ('HASH'), where each galaxy resides in a subhalo taken f…
Ubiquitous seeding of supermassive black holes by direct collapse
Bhaskar Agarwal, Sadegh Khochfar, Jarrett L. Johnson +3
We study for the first time the environment of massive black hole (BH) seeds (~10^4-5 Msun) formed via the direct collapse of pristine gas clouds in massive haloes (>10^7 Msun) at…
Hydrodynamical simulations and semi-analytic models of galaxy formation: two sides of the same coin
Eyal Neistein, Sadegh Khochfar, Claudio Dalla Vecchia +1
In this work we develop a new method to turn a state-of-the-art hydrodynamical cosmological simulation of galaxy formation (HYD) into a simple semi-analytic model (SAM). This is ac…
A modified star formation law as a solution to open problems in galaxy evolution
Lan Wang, Simone M. Weinmann, Eyal Neistein
In order to reproduce the low mass end of the stellar mass function, most current models of galaxy evolution invoke very efficient supernova feedback. This solution seems to suffer…
