Distribution of streaming rates into high-redshift galaxies

Tobias Goerdt, Daniel Ceverino, Avishai Dekel +1

We study the accretion along streams from the cosmic web into high-redshift massive galaxies using three sets of AMR hydro-cosmological simulations. We find that the streams keep a…

Inflow velocities of cold flows streaming into massive galaxies at high redshifts

Tobias Goerdt, Daniel Ceverino

We study the velocities of the accretion along streams from the cosmic web into massive galaxies at high redshift with the help of three different suites of AMR hydrodynamical cosm…

The co-planarity of satellite galaxies delivered by randomly aligned cold mode accretion streams

Tobias Goerdt, Andreas Burkert, Daniel Ceverino

Recent observations have shown that the majority of the Andromeda galaxy's satellites are aligned in a thin plane. On the theoretical side it has been proposed that galaxies acquir…

Detectability of cold streams into high-redshift galaxies by absorption lines

Tobias Goerdt, Avishai Dekel, Amiel Sternberg +2

Cold gas streaming along the dark-matter filaments of the cosmic web is predicted to be the major provider of resources for disc buildup, violent disk instability and star formatio…

Gravity-driven Lyman-alpha blobs from cold streams into galaxies

Tobias Goerdt, A. Dekel, A. Sternberg +3

We use high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical AMR simulations to predict the characteristics of La emission from the cold gas streams that fed galaxies in massive haloes at hi…

Cold streams in early massive hot haloes as the main mode of galaxy formation

A. Dekel, Y. Birnboim, G. Engel +7

The massive galaxies in the young universe, ten billion years ago, formed stars at surprising intensities. Although this is commonly attributed to violent mergers, the properties o…
