Sleeping or Dead? Probing the Quenching Mechanism of JWST Dormant Galaxies at z > 3 with ALMA

Mengyuan Xiao, Songnan Qi, Pascal A. Oesch +16

JWST has revealed a population of "dormant'' galaxies at z>3 with strong Balmer breaks and weak emission lines, whose star formation appears to have declined only recently. Whether…

Living the stream: Properties and progenitors of tidal shells and streams around galaxies from Magneticum

Johannes Stoiber, Lucas M. Valenzuela, Rhea-Silvia Remus +4

Stellar shells and streams are remnants of satellite galaxies visible around galaxies. Advances in low-surface-brightness observations and increasing resolution of cosmological sim…

Tidal features around simulated groups and cluster galaxies: Enhancement and suppression of merger events through environment in LSST-like mock observations

Aman Khalid, Sarah Brough, Garreth Martin +5

Generally, merger likelihood increases in denser environments; however, the large relative velocities at the centres of dense clusters are expected to reduce the likelihood of merg…

A massive and evolved slow-rotating galaxy in the early Universe

Ben Forrest, Adam Muzzin, Danilo Marchesini +15

In the contemporary Universe, most galaxies are supported by ordered rotation, yet a significant subset of the most massive and quiescent systems are dominated by random stellar mo…

The Impact of Cluster Mergers on Galaxy Properties

Oğuzhan Çakır, Matt S. Owers, Lucas C. Kimmig +4

The impact of galaxy cluster mergers on the properties of the resident galaxies remains poorly understood. In this paper, we investigate the effects of merging environments on star…

Intra-Cluster Light as a Dynamical Clock for Galaxy Clusters: Insights from the MAGNETICUM, IllustrisTNG, Hydrangea and Horizon-AGN Simulations

Lucas C. Kimmig, Sarah Brough, Klaus Dolag +19

As the most massive nodes of the cosmic web, galaxy clusters represent the best probes of structure formation. Over time, they grow by accreting and disrupting satellite galaxies,…

Die Hard: The On-Off-Cycle of Galaxies on the Star Formation Main Sequence

Silvio Fortuné, Rhea-Silvia Remus, Lucas C. Kimmig +2

Our picture of galaxy evolution currently assumes that galaxies spend their life on the star formation main sequence (SFMS) until they are eventually quenched. However, recent obse…

The MAGPI Survey: the subtle role of environment and not-so-subtle impact of generations of stars on galaxy dynamics

Caroline Foster, Sabine Bellstedt, Francesco DEugenio +23

The stellar age and mass of galaxies have been suggested as the primary determinants for the dynamical state of galaxies, with environment seemingly playing no or only a very minor…
