VERTICO VII: Environmental quenching caused by suppression of molecular gas content and star formation efficiency in Virgo Cluster galaxies

Toby Brown, Ian D. Roberts, Mallory Thorp +20

We study how environment regulates the star formation cycle of 33 Virgo Cluster satellite galaxies on 720 parsec scales. We present the first resolved star-forming main sequence fo…

VERTICO VI: Cold-gas asymmetries in Virgo cluster galaxies

Ian D. Roberts, Toby Brown, Nikki Zabel +20

We analyze cold-gas distributions in Virgo cluster galaxies using resolved CO(2-1) (tracing molecular hydrogen, H2) and HI observations from the Virgo Environment Traced In CO (VER…

Post-Starburst Properties of Post-Merger Galaxies

Wenhao Li, Preethi Nair, Kate Rowlands +10

Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are transition galaxies showing evidence of recent rapid star formation quenching. To understand the role of galaxy mergers in triggering quenching,…

Evidence of First Stars-enriched Gas in High-redshift Absorbers

A. Saccardi, S. Salvadori, V. D'Odorico +6

The first stars were born from chemically pristine gas. They were likely massive, and thus they rapidly exploded as supernovae, enriching the surrounding gas with the first heavy e…

Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations -- V: Comparing the influence of star-forming vs. passive companions

Westley Brown, David R. Patton, Sara L. Ellison +1

We study interacting galaxy pairs in the TNG100-1 and TNG300-1 cosmological simulations using previously generated closest companion samples. We study the specific star formation r…

Galaxy interactions are the dominant trigger for local type 2 quasars

J. C. S. Pierce, C. Tadhunter, C. Ramos Almeida +8

The triggering mechanism for the most luminous, quasar-like active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains a source of debate, with some studies favouring triggering via galaxy mergers, but…
