Ruffled Feathers: Merger-driven galaxy size growth and structural transformation in EAGLE
Kai Wang, Carlton Baugh, Sownak Bose +9
Galaxy mergers drive both the size growth and the transformation from discs to spheroids, yet the prescriptions used to model these processes in semi-analytic frameworks have not b…
Inflow-driven galaxy evolution - I. Revealing the physics of the fundamental metallicity relation
Kai Wang, Carlton Baugh, N. F. Boardman +11
We present a unified physical framework for the fundamental metallicity relation (FMR), based on the mass-continuity equations. The FMR is not merely the anti-correlation between s…
Cosmological Galaxy Formation Modelling in the Era of the Square Kilometre Array
Claudia del P. Lagos, Carlton M. Baugh, Connor Bottrell +11
Over the past decade, galaxy formation simulations have advanced dramatically, transforming our ability to model the interstellar medium (ISM) and predict galaxies' radio emission.…
First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations (FLARES) XX: Comparing semi-analytic models at high-redshift
Louise T. C. Seeyave, Carlton M. Baugh, Angel Chandro-Gomez +13
We explore how the choice of galaxy formation model affects the predicted properties of high-redshift galaxies. Using the FLARES zoom resimulation strategy, we compare the EAGLE hy…
The diverse star formation histories of early massive, quenched galaxies in modern galaxy formation simulations
Claudia del P. Lagos, Francesco Valentino, Ruby J. Wright +13
We present a comprehensive study of the star formation histories of massive-quenched galaxies at in 3 semi-analytic models (SHARK, GAEA, GALFORM) and 3 cosmological hydrodyna…
A comparison of pre-existing CDM predictions with the abundance of {\it JWST} galaxies at high redshift
Shengdong Lu, Carlos S. Frenk, Sownak Bose +4
Observations with the {\it James Webb Space Telescope} have revealed a high abundance of bright galaxies at redshift, , which has been widely interpreted as conflictin…
