Morphological evolution of supermassive black hole merger hosts and multimessenger signatures

Colin DeGraf, Debora Sijacki, Tiziana Di Matteo +3

With projects such as Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and Pulsar Timing Arrays expected to detect gravitational waves from supermassive black hole mergers in the near fut…

The nature of giant clumps in high-z discs: a deep-learning comparison of simulations and observations

Omri Ginzburg, Marc Huertas-Company, Avishai Dekel +4

We use deep learning to explore the nature of observed giant clumps in high-redshift disc galaxies, based on their identification and classification in cosmological simulations. Si…

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…

The Morphology-Density relationship in 1<z<2 clusters

Elizaveta Sazonova, Katherine Alatalo, Jennifer Lotz +8

The morphology-density relationship states that dense cosmic environments such as galaxy clusters have an overabundance of quiescent elliptical galaxies, but it is unclear at which…

Stellar Masses of Giant Clumps in CANDELS and Simulated Galaxies Using Machine Learning

M. Huertas-Company, Y. Guo, O. Ginzburg +12

A significant fraction of high redshift star-forming disc galaxies are known to host giant clumps, whose nature and role in galaxy evolution are yet to be understood. In this work…
