Halo mass, star formation, and morphology in galaxies: A morphology-dependent connection between halo environment and star formation activity

G. Mountrichas, F. Shankar, F. J. Carrera +1

Understanding the mechanisms responsible for quenching star formation in galaxies requires disentangling the roles of internal structure and large-scale environment. We investigate…

How galaxies acquire their stellar mass at high redshift: High star formation efficiencies and the relative roles of dust and initial mass function

Hao Fu, Francesco Shankar, Fabio Fontanot +9

JWST has measured an unprecedented abundance of galaxies above , whose formation and evolution are still difficult to reconcile within traditional galaxy evolution mo…

Black hole mass, host galaxy mass, and dark matter halos: Testing the environmental connection

G. Mountrichas, F. Shankar, F. J. Carrera +1

We investigate the connection between supermassive black holes (SMBHs), their host galaxies, and large-scale dark-matter halos using broad-line X-ray AGN from the XMM--XXL and Stri…

Large-scale environments of star-forming active galactic nuclei: How black hole mass, accretion rate, and luminosity connect to dark matter halos

G. Mountrichas, F. J. Carrera, F. Shankar +1

Understanding the relative roles of large-scale environment and internal host-galaxy processes in shaping AGN activity is essential for constraining models of black-hole growth and…

Outflows in the Gaseous Discs of Active Galaxies and their impact on Black Hole Scaling Relations

N. Menci, F. Fiore, F. Shankar +2

To tackle the still unsolved and fundamental problem of the role of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback in shaping galaxies, in this work we implement a new physical treatment of…

Outflows in the Discs of Active Galaxies

N. Menci, F. Fiore, C. Feruglio +5

Recent advances in observations have provided a wealth of measurements of the expansions of outflows in galactic discs out to large radii in a variety of galactic hosts. To provide…
