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…
About AGN ionization echoes, thermal echoes, and ionization deficits in low redshift Lyman-alpha blobs
Mischa Schirmer, Sangeeta Malhotra, Nancy A. Levenson +7
We report the discovery of 14 Lyman-alpha blobs (LABs) at z~0.3, existing at least 4-7 billion years later in the Universe than all other LABs known. Their optical diameters are 20…
The impact of galactic properties and environment on the quenching of central and satellite galaxies: A comparison between SDSS, Illustris and L-Galaxies
Asa F. L. Bluck, J. Trevor Mendel, Sara L. Ellison +7
We quantify the impact that a variety of galactic and environmental properties have on the quenching of star formation. We collate a sample of 400,000 central and 100…
Simulating galaxy formation with black hole driven thermal and kinetic feedback
Rainer Weinberger, Volker Springel, Lars Hernquist +8
The inefficiency of star formation in massive elliptical galaxies is widely believed to be caused by the interactions of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with the surrounding gas.…
