The impact of black hole seeding in cosmological simulations

Ella Xi Wang, Philip Taylor, Christoph Federrath +1

Most cosmological simulations of galaxy evolution include active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback, typically seeding black holes with masses of …

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Observing the environmental quenching of star formation in GAMA groups

A. L. Schaefer, S. M. Croom, N. Scott +25

We explore the radial distribution of star formation in galaxies in the SAMI Galaxy Survey as a function of their local group environment. Using a sample of galaxies in groups (wit…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Stellar and gas misalignments and the origin of gas in nearby galaxies

J. J. Bryant, S. M. Croom, J. van de Sande +16

Misalignment of gas and stellar rotation in galaxies can give clues to the origin and processing of accreted gas. Integral field spectroscopic observations of 1213 galaxies from th…

On the shape and completeness of the column density probability distribution function of molecular clouds

Bastian Körtgen, Christoph Federrath, Robi Banerjee

Both observational and theoretical research over the past decade has demonstrated that the probability distribution function (PDF) of the gas density in turbulent molecular clouds…

A new method for probing magnetic field strengths from striations in the interstellar medium

Aris Tritsis, Christoph Federrath, Nicola Schneider +1

Recent studies of the diffuse parts of molecular clouds have revealed the presence of parallel, ordered low-density filaments termed striations. Flows along magnetic field lines, K…

The role of turbulence during the formation of circumbinary discs

Rajika L. Kuruwita, Christoph Federrath

Most stars form in binaries and the evolution of their discs remains poorly understood. To shed light on this subject, we carry out 3D ideal MHD simulations with the AMR code FLASH…
