Ram pressure feeding super-massive black holes
Bianca M. Poggianti, Yara L. Jaffé, Alessia Moretti +10
When supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies accrete matter (usually gas), they give rise to highly energetic phenomena named Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). A number of p…
Probing the Dependence of the Intergalactic Medium on Large Scale Environment Using the Low Redshift Lyman Alpha Forest
Stephanie Tonnesen, Britton D. Smith, Juna Kollmeier +1
We examine the statistics of the low-redshift Ly-alpha forest in an adaptive mesh refinement hydrodynamic cosmological simulation of sufficient volume to include distinct large-sca…
The importance of preventive feedback: inference from observations of the stellar masses and metallicities of Milky Way dwarf galaxies
Yu Lu, Andrew Benson, Andrew Wetzel +5
Dwarf galaxies are known to have remarkably low star formation efficiency due to strong feedback. Adopting the dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way as a laboratory, we explore a flexibl…
The effect of ram pressure on the molecular gas of galaxies: three case studies in the Virgo cluster
Bumhyun Lee, Aeree Chung, Stephanie Tonnesen +6
We present 12CO (2-1) data of three Virgo spirals - NGC 4330, NGC 4402 and NGC 4522 obtained using the Submillimeter Array. These three galaxies show clear evidence of ram pressure…
