Towards precise galaxy evolution: a comparison between spectral indices of galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulation and the LEGA-C survey

Po-Feng Wu, Dylan Nelson, Arjen van der Wel +13

We present the first comparison of observed stellar continuum spectra of high-redshift galaxies and mock galaxy spectra generated from hydrodynamical simulations. The mock spectra…

Quenching of star formation from a lack of inflowing gas to galaxies

Katherine E. Whitaker, Christina C. Williams, Lamiya Mowla +16

Star formation in half of massive galaxies was quenched by the time the Universe was three billion years old. Very low amounts of molecular gas appear responsible for this, at leas…

The Baltimore Oriole's Nest: Cool Winds from the Inner and Outer Parts of a Star-Forming Galaxy at z=1.3

Weichen Wang, Susan A. Kassin, S. M. Faber +12

Strong galactic winds are ubiquitous at . However, it is not well known where inside galaxies these winds are launched from. We study the cool winds (\,K) in…

Stellar Dynamical Models for 797 Galaxies from LEGA-C

Josha van Houdt, Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson +12

We present spatially resolved stellar kinematics for 797 galaxies selected from the LEGA-C survey and construct axisymmetric Jeans models to quantify their dynamical mass…

The mass-metallicity relation at z~1-2 and its dependence on star formation rate

Alaina Henry, Marc Rafelski, Ben Sunnquist +24

We present a new measurement of the gas-phase mass-metallicity relation (MZR), and its dependence on star formation rates (SFRs) at 1.3 < z < 2.3. Our sample comprises 1056 galaxie…
