A High-Mass Size Deficit for Void Galaxies in the Complete SDSS DR7

Olivia Curtis, Bryanne McDonough, Tereasa G. Brainerd

We characterize how environment shapes the sizes, luminosity functions, and mass functions of galaxies in large-scale underdensities by comparing the NSA catalog of the Sloan Digit…

Void Galaxies and AGN Activity in ZOBOV-identified TNG300 Voids Out to z=3.0

Olivia Curtis, Bryanne McDonough, Tereasa Brainerd

We study void galaxies in the TNG300 simulation between redshifts and . Cosmic void catalogs were constructed using a watershed-based void-finding algorithm, and we defi…

Density Profiles of TNG300 Voids across Cosmic Time

Olivia Curtis, Bryanne McDonough, Tereasa Brainerd

We present radial density profiles, as traced by luminous galaxies and dark matter particles, for voids in eleven snapshots of the \texttt{TNG300} simulation. The snapshots span 11…

Measuring Scaling Relationships: Fitting Technique Matters

Bryanne McDonough, Olivia Curtis, Tereasa Brainerd

Scaling relationships, both integrated and spatially resolved, arise due to the physical processes that govern galaxy evolution and are frequently measured in both observed and sim…

Intrinsic and Environmental Effects on the Distribution of Star Formation in TNG100 Galaxies

Bryanne McDonough, Olivia Curtis, Tereasa Brainerd

We present radial profiles of luminosity-weighted age, , and for various populations of high- and low- mass central and satellite galaxies in the TNG100 cosmologi…

Properties of Voids and Void Galaxies in the TNG300 Simulation

Olivia Curtis, Bryanne McDonough, Tereasa G. Brainerd

We investigate the properties of voids and void galaxies in the \texttt{TNG300} simulation. Using a luminous galaxy catalog and a spherical void finding algorithm, we identify 5,07…
