Dust and gas modelling in radiative transfer simulations of disc-dominated galaxies with RADMC-3D

Francesco Sinigaglia, Miroslava Dessauges-Zavadsky, Lucio Mayer +2

Bridging theory and observations is a key task to understand galaxy formation and evolution. With the advent of state-of-the-art observational facilities, an accurate modelling of…

The nature of giant clumps in distant galaxies probed by the anatomy of the Cosmic Snake

Antonio Cava, Daniel Schaerer, Johan Richard +4

Giant stellar clumps are ubiquitous in high-redshift galaxies. They are thought to play an important role in the build-up of galactic bulges and as diagnostics of star formation fe…

On the stellar masses of giant clumps in distant star-forming galaxies

Miroslava Dessauges-Zavadsky, Daniel Schaerer, Antonio Cava +2

We analyse stellar masses of clumps drawn from a compilation of star-forming galaxies at 1.1<z<3.6. Comparing clumps selected in different ways, and in lensed or blank field galaxi…

Clumpy galaxies seen in H-alpha: inflated observed clump properties due to limited spatial resolution and sensitivity

Valentina Tamburello, Alireza Rahmati, Lucio Mayer +3

High-resolution simulations of star-forming massive galactic discs have shown that clumps form with a characteristic baryonic mass in the range , with a small…

Clumpy high-z galaxies as a testbed for feedback-regulated galaxy formation

Lucio Mayer, Valentina Tamburello, Alessandro Lupi +3

We study the dependence of fragmentation in massive gas-rich galaxy disks at on feedback model and hydrodynamical method, employing the GASOLINE2 SPH code and the lagrangia…

Supermassive black hole pairs in clumpy galaxies at high redshift: delayed binary formation and concurrent mass growth

Valentina Tamburello, Pedro R. Capelo, Lucio Mayer +2

Massive gas-rich galaxy discs at host massive star-forming clumps with typical baryonic masses in the range ~M which can affect the orbital decay…

A lower fragmentation mass scale in high redshift galaxies and its implications on giant clumps: a systematic numerical study

Valentina Tamburello, Lucio Mayer, Sijing Shen +1

We study the effect of sub-grid physics, galaxy mass, structural parameters and resolution on the fragmentation of gas-rich galaxy discs into massive star forming clumps. The initi…
