MOSS III: MeerKATs view on the galaxy populations in two massive galaxy clusters

Robert Kincaid, Mark Sargent, Pascale Jablonka +5

The MeerKAT Observations of the Saraswati Supercluster (MOSS) is an ongoing project attempting to study the radio and optical properties of the core region of the Saraswati supercl…

X-ray Characterization of Galaxy Groups and Hickson Groups in COSMOS-Web to z~3.8 I. X-ray Luminosity Function Evolution

Ghassem Gozaliasl, Günther Hasinger, Gavin Leroy +35

Galaxy groups are the dominant halo environment in the Universe and a sensitive laboratory for feedback and gas-cycling physics, yet a uniform, intermediate-redshift X-ray characte…

Tracing cosmic star formation history through radio continuum spectral energy distribution and non-thermal emission

Fangxia An, Fatemeh S. Tabatabaei, Nick Seymour +11

As a tracer of massive star formation unaffected by dust, the radio continuum emission provides a unique window into the formation of the first stars and galaxies in the Universe.…

Advancing Astrophysics with the SKA II

Anna Bonaldi, Tyler L. Bourke, Philippa Hartley +45

Advancing Astrophysics with the SKA II (AASKAII), written by our science community, outlines the transformative scientific advances that will be enabled by the SKA telescopes. In t…

Advancing extragalactic spectral line studies with the Square Kilometre Array Observatory

Jacco Th. van Loon, Viviana Casasola, Manuela Bischetti +6

We present an overview of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) science potential in the area of extragalactic spectral lines besides 21-cm neutral hydrogen. It highlights…

Unveiling the roles of thermal and nonthermal processes in the ISM & IGM structure formation and evolution of galaxies with SKAO

Fatemeh S. Tabatabaei, Masoumeh Ghasemi-Nodehi, Mark T. Sargent +10

Investigating the thermal and nonthermal processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) and intergalactic medium (IGM) is vital to understanding the evolution of galaxies over cosmic t…

Star Formation and Accretion in Nearby Galaxies

J. Moldon, A. Alberdi, M. Perez-Torres +11

The appearance of galaxies is strongly dominated by two physical phenomena: star formation and accretion of material onto compact objects, primarily supermassive black holes. Nearb…

Cm-wavelength Studies of Molecular Gas and Star Formation at High Redshift with the SKA

Ran Wang, Jeff Wagg, Mark T. Sargent +6

The Square Kilometre Array will be a revolutionary instrument for the study of gas in the distant Universe. At frequencies below ~50 GHz, observations of redshifted emission from l…

Probing the Nature of Lyman Continuum Emitting and Low-metallicity Galaxies Using the SKA

Omkar Bait, Daniel Schaerer, Mark Sargent

The sources responsible for cosmic reionization remain a key open question in observational cosmology. Recent JWST results increasingly suggest that low-mass star-forming galaxies…

Tracing the Star Formation History of the Universe through Thermal Free-Free Emission with the SKA

Hiddo S. B. Algera, Mark Sargent, Eric J. Murphy +1

One of the major scientific aims of the SKA is to trace the history of star formation across cosmic time. High-frequency radio surveys are indispensable in this regard, as these ar…

Opening new parameter space windows on galaxy/AGN co-evolution with SKA radio continuum surveys

Isabella Prandoni, Mark T. Sargent, Matteo Bonato +11

In this chapter we provide an overview of the science enabled by the SKAO, focusing on galaxy/AGN co-evolution studies. In particular we discuss a number of radio continuum `refere…

Galaxies as stochastic systems: why the next breakthrough in galaxy evolution requires one hundred million spectra

Sandro Tacchella, Vasily Belokurov, Harry T. J. Bevins +4

Each galaxy is observed only once along its life, making galaxy evolution fundamentally an inverse statistical problem: time-dependent physics must be inferred from ensembles of si…

The molecular gas content throughout the low-z merger sequence

Mark T. Sargent, S. L. Ellison, J. T. Mendel +5

Exploiting IRAM 30m CO spectroscopy, we find that SDSS post-merger galaxies display gas fractions and depletion times enhanced by 25-50%, a mildly higher CO excitation, and standar…
