Constraining feedback in galaxy formation: using galaxy and AGN surveys to shed light on "gastrophysics"
Pierluigi Monaco
We present some results of the new MORGANA model for the rise of galaxies and active nuclei, and show that the improved physical motivation of the description of star formation and…
The MORGANA model for the rise of galaxies and active nuclei
Pierluigi Monaco, Fabio Fontanot, Giuliano Taffoni
We present the MOdel for the Rise of GAlaxies aNd Active nuclei (MORGANA). Starting from the merger trees of dark matter halos and a model for the evolution of substructure within…
Diffuse stellar component in galaxy clusters and the evolution of the most massive galaxies at z<~1
Pierluigi Monaco, Giuseppe Murante, Stefano Borgani +1
The high end of the stellar mass function of galaxies is observed to have little evolution since z~1. This represents a stringent constraint for merger--based models, aimed at expl…
The effect of stellar feedback and quasar winds on the AGN population
Fabio Fontanot, Pierluigi Monaco, Stefano Cristiani +1
In order to constrain the physical processes that regulate and downsize the AGN population, the predictions of the MOdel for the Rise of GAlaxies aNd Active nuclei (MORGANA) are co…
The Galaxy Mass Function up to z=4 in the GOODS-MUSIC sample: into the epoch of formation of massive galaxies
A. Fontana, S. Salimbeni, A. Grazian +10
The goal of this work is to measure the evolution of the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function and of the resulting Stellar Mass Density up to redshift ~4, in order to study the assembly of…
A close look to quasar-triggered winds: is the black hole-bulge relation self-regulated?
P. Monaco
We discuss the role of feedback from AGNs on the formation of spheroidal galaxies. The energy released by an accreting Black Hole (BH) may be injected into the ISM through blast wa…
