On the formation of massive quiescent galaxies with diverse morphologies in the TNG50 simulation
Minjung Park, Sandro Tacchella, Erica J. Nelson +7
Observations have shown that the star-formation activity and the morphology of galaxies are closely related, but the underlying physical connection is not well understood. Using th…
The Prevalence of Galaxy Overdensities Around UV-Luminous Lyman Emitters in the Epoch of Reionization
E. Leonova, P. A. Oesch, Y. Qin +19
Before the end of the epoch of reionization, the Hydrogen in the Universe was predominantly neutral. This leads to a strong attenuation of Ly lines of galaxies in th…
H-alpha emission in local galaxies: star formation, time variability and the diffuse ionized gas
Sandro Tacchella, Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan +6
The nebular recombination line H is widely used as a star-formation rate (SFR) indicator in the local and high-redshift Universe. We present a detailed H radiative transfer s…
The physics of Lyman-alpha escape from disc-like galaxies
Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan, Sandro Tacchella +8
Hydrogen emission lines can provide extensive information about star-forming galaxies in both the local and high-redshift Universe. We present a detailed Lyman continuum (LyC), Lym…
On the Stellar Populations of Galaxies at z=9-11: The Growth of Metals and Stellar Mass at Early Times
Sandro Tacchella, Steven L. Finkelstein, Micaela Bagley +18
We present a detailed stellar population analysis of 11 bright () galaxies at (three spectroscopically confirmed) to constrain the chemical enrichment and growth o…
Evidence from Disrupted Halo Dwarfs that -process Enrichment via Neutron Star Mergers is Delayed by Myrs
Rohan P. Naidu, Alexander P. Ji, Charlie Conroy +10
The astrophysical origins of -process elements remain elusive. Neutron star mergers (NSMs) and special classes of core-collapse supernovae (rCCSNe) are leading candidates. Due t…
The Synchrony of Production & Escape: Half the Bright Ly Emitters at have Lyman Continuum Escape Fractions
Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Pascal A. Oesch +14
The ionizing photon escape fraction (LyC ) of star-forming galaxies is the single greatest unknown in the reionization budget. Stochastic sightline effects prohibit t…
(Re)Solving Reionization with Lyα: How Bright Lyα Emitters account for the Cosmic Ionizing Background
Jorryt Matthee, Rohan P. Naidu, Gabriele Pezzulli +12
The cosmic ionizing emissivity from star-forming galaxies has long been anchored to UV luminosity functions. Here we introduce an emissivity framework based on Ly emitters (LAEs…
Dissecting Nearby Galaxies with piXedfit: I. Spatially Resolved Properties of Stars, Dust, and Gas as Revealed by Panchromatic SED Fitting
Abdurro'uf, Yen-Ting Lin, Hiroyuki Hirashita +5
We study spatially resolved properties (on spatial scales of kpc out to at least effective radii) of the stars, dust, and gas in ten nearby spiral galaxies. The prop…
Reproducing the UVJ Color Distribution of Star-forming Galaxies at 0.5 < z < 2.5 with a Geometric Model of Dust Attenuation
Leah Zuckerman, Sirio Belli, Joel Leja +1
We analyze the distribution of rest-frame U-V and V-J colors for star-forming galaxies at 0.5 < z < 2.5. Using stellar population synthesis, stochastic star formation histories, an…
A Census of the Bright z=8.5-11 Universe with the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes in the CANDELS Fields
Steven L. Finkelstein, Micaela Bagley, Mimi Song +21
We present the results from a new search for candidate galaxies at z ~ 8.5-11 discovered over the 850 arcmin^2 area probed by the Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic L…
High redshift JWST predictions from IllustrisTNG: III. Infrared luminosity functions, obscured star formation and dust temperature of high-redshift galaxies
Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger, Dylan Nelson +5
We post-process galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations with SKIRT radiative transfer calculations to make predictions for the rest-frame near-infrared (NIR) and far-infrared (FIR…
Reconstructing the Last Major Merger of the Milky Way with the H3 Survey
Rohan P. Naidu, Charlie Conroy, Ana Bonaca +8
Several lines of evidence suggest the Milky Way underwent a major merger at z~2 with a galaxy known as Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE). Here we use H3 Survey data to argue that GSE en…
The Diverse Molecular Gas Content of Massive Galaxies Undergoing Quenching at z~1
Sirio Belli, Alessandra Contursi, Reinhard Genzel +20
We present a detailed study of the molecular gas content and stellar population properties of three massive galaxies at 1 < z < 1.3 that are in different stages of quenching. The g…
Fast, Slow, Early, Late: Quenching Massive Galaxies at z~0.8
Sandro Tacchella, Charlie Conroy, S. M. Faber +14
We investigate the stellar populations for a sample of 161 massive, mainly quiescent galaxies at with deep Keck/DEIMOS rest-frame optical spectros…
Spatially Resolved Star Formation and Inside-out Quenching in the TNG50 Simulation and 3D-HST Observations
Erica J. Nelson, Sandro Tacchella, Benedikt Diemer +21
We compare the star forming main sequence (SFMS) -- both integrated and resolved on 1kpc scales -- between the high-resolution TNG50 simulation of IllustrisTNG and observations fro…
