Enhanced Star Formation and Black Hole Accretion Rates in Galaxy Mergers in IllustrisTNG50
Aimee L. Schechter, Shy Genel, Bryan Terrazas +6
Many theoretical and observational studies have suggested that galaxy mergers may trigger enhanced star formation or active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity. We present an analysis o…
JWST Reveals Bulge-dominated Star-forming Galaxies at Cosmic Noon
Chloë E. Benton, Erica J. Nelson, Tim B. Miller +10
Hubble Space Telescope imaging shows that most star-forming galaxies at cosmic noon -- the peak of cosmic star formation history -- appear disk-dominated, leaving the origin of the…
A Size Estimate for Galaxy GN-z11
James O. Baldwin, Erica Nelson, Benjamin D. Johnson +5
GN-z11 is the highest redshift galaxy spectroscopically confirmed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Previous measurements of the effective radius of GN-z11 utilized galfit, wh…
FRESCO: An extended, massive, rapidly rotating galaxy at z=5.3
Erica J. Nelson, Gabriel Brammer, Clara Gimenez-Arteaga +43
With the remarkable sensitivity and resolution of JWST in the infrared, measuring rest-optical kinematics of galaxies at has become possible for the first time. This study pi…
The First Quiescent Galaxies in TNG300
Abigail I. Hartley, Erica J. Nelson, Katherine A. Suess +12
We identify the first quiescent galaxies in TNG300, the largest volume of the IllustrisTNG cosmological simulation suite, and explore their quenching processes and time evolution t…
JWST reveals a population of ultra-red, flattened disk galaxies at 2<z<6 previously missed by HST
Erica J. Nelson, Katherine A. Suess, Rachel Bezanson +19
With just a month of data, JWST is already transforming our view of the Universe, revealing and resolving starlight in unprecedented populations of galaxies. Although ``HST-dark" g…
