Galaxy evolution on resolved scales: ageing and quenching in CALIFA

Pablo Corcho-Caballero, Javier Casado, Yago Ascasibar +1

This work investigates the fundamental mechanism(s) that drive galaxy evolution in the Local Universe. By comparing two proxies of star-formation sensitive to different timescales,…

On the nature of diffuse ionized gas in galaxies -- I The contribution of dust scattering to diffuse line emission

Y. Ascasibar, G. Guidi, J. Casado +2

In this work, we investigate the contribution of dust scattering to the diffuse H-alpha emission observed in nearby galaxies. As initial conditions for the spatial distribution of…

Nature or nurture? Clues from the distribution of specific star formation rates in SDSS galaxies

Javier Casado, Yago Ascasibar, Marta Gavilán +4

This work investigates the main mechanism(s) that regulate the specific star formation rate (SSFR) in nearby galaxies, cross-correlating two proxies of this quantity -- the equival…

Understanding chemical evolution in resolved galaxies -- I The local star fraction-metallicity relation

Y. Ascasibar, M. Gavilán, N. Pinto +3

This work studies the relation between gas-phase oxygen abundance and stellar-to-gas fraction in nearby galaxies. We first derive the theoretical prediction, and argue that this re…

Structure Finding in Cosmological Simulations: The State of Affairs

Alexander Knebe, Frazer R. Pearce, Hanni Lux +32

The ever increasing size and complexity of data coming from simulations of cosmic structure formation demands equally sophisticated tools for their analysis. During the past decade…

Subhaloes gone Notts: Spin across subhaloes and finders

Julian Onions, Yago Ascasibar, Peter Behroozi +15

We present a study of a comparison of spin distributions of subhaloes found associated with a host halo. The subhaloes are found within two cosmological simulation families of Milk…

Galaxies going MAD: The Galaxy-Finder Comparison Project

Alexander Knebe, Noam I. Libeskind, Frazer Pearce +8

With the ever increasing size and complexity of fully self-consistent simulations of galaxy formation within the framework of the cosmic web, the demands upon object finders for th…
