Rest-Frame Ultraviolet to Near Infrared Observations of an Interacting Lyman Break Galaxy at z = 4.42
Joshua D. Younger, Jia-Sheng Huang, Giovanni G. Fazio +11
We present the rest-frame ultraviolet through near infrared spectral energy distribution for an interacting Lyman break galaxy at a redshift z=4.42, the highest redshift merging sy…
A Cosmological Framework for the Co-Evolution of Quasars, Supermassive Black Holes, and Elliptical Galaxies: II. Formation of Red Ellipticals
Philip F. Hopkins, Thomas J. Cox, Dusan Keres +1
(Abridged) We develop and test a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the formation and quenching of red, early-type galaxies. Making the ansatz that star formation is que…
A Cosmological Framework for the Co-Evolution of Quasars, Supermassive Black Holes, and Elliptical Galaxies: I. Galaxy Mergers & Quasar Activity
Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +1
(Abridged) We develop a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the evolution of starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies. Combining halo mass functions (MFs) with empiri…
Accretion, feedback and galaxy bimodality: a comparison of the GalICS semi-analytic model and cosmological SPH simulations
Andrea Cattaneo, Jeremy Blaizot, David H. Weinberg +6
We compare the galaxy population of an SPH simulation to those predicted by the GalICS semi-analytic model and a stripped down version without supernova and AGN feedback. The SPH s…
Galaxy Merger Statistics and Inferred Bulge-to-Disk Ratios in Cosmological SPH Simulations
Ariyeh Maller, Neal Katz, Dusan Keres +2
We construct merger trees for galaxies identified in a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation and use them to characterize predicted merger rates as a function of redshift, galaxy…
How Do Galaxies Get Their Gas?
Dusan Keres, Neal Katz, David H. Weinberg +1
We examine the temperature history of gas accreted by forming galaxies in SPH simulations. About half the gas shock heats to roughly the virial temperature of the galaxy potential…
