Modelling the nebular emission of galaxies across cosmic time with COLT
William McClymont, Aaron Smith, Sandro Tacchella
Extragalactic nebular emission has long been a workhorse probe of the processes driving galaxy evolution, but the richness of JWST spectroscopy has shifted the bottleneck from data…
The THESAN-ZOOM project: The Hidden Neighbours of OI Absorbers during Reionization
Giulia Pruto, Laura Keating, Rahul Kannan +9
Metal absorbers represent a powerful probe of galaxy feedback and reionization, as highlighted by both observational and theoretical results showing an increased abundance of low-i…
JADES: the chemical enrichment pattern of distant galaxies -- enhancement, silicon depletion, and iron enhancement
Yuki Isobe, Roberto Maiolino, Xihan Ji +26
We present gas-phase abundances of carbon (C), -elements (O, Ne, Si, and Ar) and iron (Fe) obtained from stacked spectra of high- star-forming galaxies with the deep Near Inf…
The THESAN-ZOOM project: Mystery N/O more -- uncovering the origin of peculiar chemical abundances and a not-so-fundamental metallicity relation at
William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella, Aaron Smith +15
We present an analysis of metallicities and chemical abundances at in the THESAN-ZOOM simulations. We find that smoothly curved gas-phase and stellar mass-metallicity rela…
Overmassive black holes in the early Universe can be explained by gas-rich, dark matter-dominated galaxies
William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella, Xihan Ji +12
JWST has revealed the apparent evolution of the black hole (BH)-stellar mass (-$M_\rm{\ast}$) relation in the early Universe, while remaining consistent with the BH-…
The THESAN-ZOOM project: Star formation efficiency from giant molecular clouds to galactic scale in high-redshift starbursts
Zihao Wang, Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger +12
Star formation in galaxies is inherently complex, involving the interplay of physical processes over a hierarchy of spatial scales. In this work, we investigate the connection betw…
