Galaxy merger histories and the role of merging in driving star formation at z>1
S. Kaviraj, J. Devriendt, Y. Dubois +5
We use Horizon-AGN, a hydrodynamical cosmological simulation, to explore the role of mergers in the evolution of massive (M > 10^10 MSun) galaxies around the epoch of peak cosmic s…
How do galaxies build up their spin in the cosmic web?
charlotte Welker, Yohan Dubois, Julien Devriendt +2
Using the Horizon-AGN simulation we find a mass dependent spin orientation trend for galaxies: the spin of low-mass, rotation-dominated, blue, star-forming galaxies are preferentia…
Mergers drive spin swings along the cosmic web
Charlotte Welker, Julien Devriendt, Yohan Dubois +2
The close relationship between mergers and the reorientation of the spin for galaxies and their host dark haloes is investigated using a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation (Hor…
Dancing in the dark: galactic properties trace spin swings along the cosmic web
Yohan Dubois, Christophe Pichon, Charlotte Welker +30
A large-scale hydrodynamical cosmological simulation, Horizon-AGN, is used to investigate the alignment between the spin of galaxies and the cosmic filaments above redshift 1.2. Th…
