Investigating the Effect of Galaxy Interactions on AGN Enhancement at
Ekta A. Shah, Jeyhan S. Kartaltepe, Christina T. Magagnoli +30
Galaxy interactions and mergers are thought to play an important role in the evolution of galaxies. Studies in the nearby universe show a higher AGN fraction in interacting and mer…
Spatially resolved star formation and fuelling in galaxy interactions
Jorge Moreno, Paul Torrey, Sara L. Ellison +8
We investigate the spatial structure and evolution of star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in interacting galaxies. We use an extensive suite of parsec-scale galaxy mer…
How do central and satellite galaxies quench? -- Insights from spatially resolved spectroscopy in the MaNGA survey
Asa F. L. Bluck, Roberto Maiolino, Joanna M. Piotrowska +7
We investigate how star formation quenching proceeds within central and satellite galaxies using spatially resolved spectroscopy from the SDSS-IV MaNGA DR15. We adopt a complete sa…
A Relationship Between Stellar Metallicity Gradients and Galaxy Age in Dwarf Galaxies
Francisco J. Mercado, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +7
We explore the origin of stellar metallicity gradients in simulated and observed dwarf galaxies. We use FIRE-2 cosmological baryonic zoom-in simulations of 26 isolated galaxies as…
The time-scales probed by star formation rate indicators for realistic, bursty star formation histories from the FIRE simulations
José A. Flores Velázquez, Alexander B. Gurvich, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +10
Understanding the rate at which stars form is central to studies of galaxy formation. Observationally, the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies are measured using the luminosity…
Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations -- I: Triggered star formation in a cosmological context
David R. Patton, Kieran D. Wilson, Colin J. Metrow +7
We use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to investigate how the specific star formation rates (sSFRs) of massive galaxies depend on…
