The SEDs of Interacting Galaxies

Lauranne Lanz, Nicola Brassington, Andreas Zezas +8

The evolution of galaxies is greatly influenced by their interactions. As part of a program to study interacting galaxies, we have measured and modeled the spectral energy distri-…

Why Are AGN and Host Galaxies Misaligned?

Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist, Christopher C. Hayward +1

It is well-established observationally that the characteristic angular momentum axis on small scales around AGN, traced by radio jets and the putative torus, is not well-correlated…

The stellar masses and specific star-formation rates of submillimetre galaxies

Michał J. Michałowski, James S. Dunlop, Michele Cirasuolo +3

Establishing the stellar masses (M*), and hence specific star-formation rates (sSFRs) of submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) is crucial for determining their role in the cosmic galaxy/st…

The Origins of AGN Obscuration: The 'Torus' as a Dynamical, Unstable Driver of Accretion

Philip F. Hopkins, Christopher C. Hayward, Desika Narayanan +1

Multi-scale simulations have made it possible to follow gas inflows onto massive black holes (BHs) from galactic scales to the accretion disk. When sufficient gas is driven towards…

K+A Galaxies as the Aftermath of Gas-Rich Mergers: Simulating the Evolution of Galaxies as Seen by Spectroscopic Surveys

Gregory F. Snyder, Thomas J. Cox, Christopher C. Hayward +2

Models of poststarburst (or "K+A") galaxies are constructed by combining fully three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy mergers with radiative transfer calculations of…

What Does a Submillimeter Galaxy Selection Actually Select? The Dependence of Submillimeter Flux Density on Star Formation Rate and Dust Mass

Christopher C. Hayward, Dušan Kereš, Patrik Jonsson +3

We perform 3-D dust radiative transfer (RT) calculations on hydrodynamic simulations of isolated and merging disk galaxies in order to quantitatively study the dependence of observ…
