The impact of AGN on stellar kinematics and orbits in simulated massive galaxies

Matteo Frigo, Thorsten Naab, Michaela Hirschmann +5

We present a series of 20 cosmological zoom simulations of the formation of massive galaxies with and without a model for AGN feedback. Differences in stellar population and kinema…

Synthetic nebular emission from massive galaxies II: ultraviolet-line diagnostics of dominant ionizing sources

Michaela Hirschmann, Stéphane Charlot, Anna Feltre +3

We compute synthetic optical and ultraviolet (UV) emission-line properties of galaxies in a full cosmological framework by coupling, in post-processing, new-generation nebular-emis…

The Role of Black Hole Feedback on Size and Structural Evolution in Massive Galaxies

Ena Choi, Rachel S. Somerville, Jeremiah P. Ostriker +2

We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to investigate the role of feedback from accreting black holes on the evolution of sizes, compactness, stellar core density and speci…

Starburst galaxies in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation and evolution

Lan Wang, Gabriella De Lucia, Fabio Fontanot +1

We study the shape and evolution of the star formation main sequence in three independently developed semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. We focus, in particular, on the char…

Linking galaxy structural properties and star formation activity to black hole activity with IllustrisTNG

Melanie Habouzit, Shy Genel, Rachel S. Somerville +11

We study the connection between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their host galaxies through cosmic time in the large-scale cosmological IllustrisTNG simulations. We first compare…

Challenges and Techniques for Simulating Line Emission

Karen P. Olsen, Andrea Pallottini, Aida Wofford +9

Modeling emission lines from the millimeter to the UV and producing synthetic spectra is crucial for a good understanding of observations, yet it is an art filled with hazards. Thi…
