Mechanisms Affecting Galaxies Nearby and Environmental Trends (MAGNET)

Benedetta Vulcani, Gabriella De Lucia, Daria Zakharova +28

[ABRIDGED] Galaxy evolution is shaped by internal and external mechanisms that regulate the baryon cycle and star formation activity. We present a theoretical framework based on th…
