ALMA Imaging of HCN, CS and dust in Arp 220 and NGC 6240

Nick Scoville, Kartik Sheth, Fabian Walter +19

We report ALMA Band 7 (350 GHz) imaging at 0.4 - 0.6arcsec resolution and Band 9 (696 GHz) at ~0.25arcsec resolution of the luminous IR galaxies Arp 220 and NGC 6240. The long wave…

Variations of the ISM Compactness Across the Main Sequence of Star-Forming Galaxies: Observations and Simulations

Juan R. Martínez-Galarza, Howard A. Smith, Lauranne Lanz +7

(abridged) The majority of star-forming galaxies follow a simple empirical correlation in the star formation rate (SFR) versus stellar mass () plane, usually referred to as th…

Synthetic Galaxy Images and Spectra from the Illustris Simulation

Paul Torrey, Gregory F. Snyder, Mark Vogelsberger +10

We present our methods for generating a catalog of 7,000 synthetic images and 40,000 integrated spectra of redshift z = 0 galaxies from the Illustris Simulation. The mock data prod…

Should we believe the results of UV-mm galaxy SED modelling?

Christopher C. Hayward, Daniel J. B. Smith

Galaxy spectral energy distribution (SED) modelling is a powerful tool, but constraining how well it is able to infer the true values for galaxy properties (e.g. the star formation…

The star formation main sequence and stellar mass assembly of galaxies in the Illustris simulation

Martin Sparre, Christopher C. Hayward, Volker Springel +6

Understanding the physical processes that drive star formation is a key challenge for galaxy formation models. In this article we study the tight correlation between the star forma…

From Starburst to Quiescence: Testing AGN feedback in Rapidly Quenching Post-Starburst Galaxies

Hassen M. Yesuf, S. M. Faber, Jonathan R. Trump +5

Post-starbursts are galaxies in transition from the blue cloud to the red sequence. Although they are rare today, integrated over time they may be an important pathway to the red s…
