Understanding the circumgalactic medium is critical for understanding galaxy evolution
Molly S. Peeples, Peter Behroozi, Rongmon Bordoloi +69
Galaxies evolve under the influence of gas flows between their interstellar medium and their surrounding gaseous halos known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM). The CGM is a major…
Interacting galaxies on FIRE-2: The connection between enhanced star formation and interstellar gas content
Jorge Moreno, Paul Torrey, Sara L. Ellison +8
We present a comprehensive suite of high-resolution (parsec-scale), idealised (non-cosmological) galaxy merger simulations (24 runs, stellar mass ratio ~2.5:1) to investigate the c…
Galaxies in the Illustris simulation as seen by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - I: Bulge+disc decompositions, methods, and biases
Connor Bottrell, Paul Torrey, Luc Simard +1
We present an image-based method for comparing the structural properties of galaxies produced in hydrodynamical simulations to real galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The ke…
Massive Close Pairs Measure Rapid Galaxy Assembly in Mergers at High Redshift
Gregory F. Snyder, Jennifer M. Lotz, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez +3
We compare mass-selected close pairs at z > 1 with the intrinsic galaxy merger rate in the Illustris Simulations. To do so, we construct three 140 arcmin^2 lightcone catalogs and m…
The role of mergers and halo spin in shaping galaxy morphology
Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Laura V. Sales, Shy Genel +10
Mergers and the spin of the dark matter halo are factors traditionally believed to determine the morphology of galaxies within a CDM cosmology. We study this hypothesis by consi…
The Califa and Hipass velocity function for all morphological galaxy types
S. Bekeraitė, C. J. Walcher, L. Wisotzki +17
The velocity function is a fundamental observable statistic of the galaxy population, similarly impor- tant as the luminosity function, but much more difficult to measure. In this…
