Destruction of Molecular Gas Reservoirs in Early-Type Galaxies by Active Galactic Nucleus Feedback
Kevin Schawinski, Chris J. Lintott, Daniel Thomas +11
Residual star formation at late times in early-type galaxies and their progenitors must be suppressed in order to explain the population of red, passively evolving systems we see t…
SPACE: the SPectroscopic All-sky Cosmic Explorer
A. Cimatti, M. Robberto, C. M. Baugh +18
We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Visio…
Population III and the Near-Infrared Background Excess
Piero Madau, Joseph Silk
We make a critical assessment of models that attribute the recently detected near-infrared background ``excess'' (NIRBE) to the redshifted light from Population III objects. To sup…
The phase-diagram of cosmological baryons
P. Valageas, R. Schaeffer, J. Silk
We investigate the behaviour of cosmological baryons at low redshifts after reionization through analytic means. In particular, we study the density-temperature phase-diagram…
Backwards galaxy formation with only a few parameters
I. Ferreras, J. Silk
We present a simple phenomenological model of star formation in galaxies that describes the process with a set of a few parameters. The star formation efficiency and the fraction o…
How young are early-type cluster galaxies ? Quantifying the young stellar component in a rich cluster at z=0.41
I. Ferreras, J. Silk
We present a new method of quantifying the mass fraction of young stars in galaxies by analyzing near-ultraviolet (NUV)-optical colors. We focus our attention on early-type cluster…
