The formation of cores in galaxies across cosmic time -- the existence of cores is not in tension with the LCDM paradigm
R. A. Jackson, S. Kaviraj, S. K. Yi +9
The `core-cusp' problem is considered a key challenge to the LCDM paradigm. Halos in dark matter only simulations exhibit `cuspy' profiles, where density continuously increases tow…
Emergence and cosmic evolution of the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation driven by interstellar turbulence
Katarina Kraljic, Florent Renaud, Yohan Dubois +12
The scaling relations between the gas content and star formation rate of galaxies provide useful insights into processes governing their formation and evolution. We investigate the…
Relaxed blue ellipticals: accretion-driven stellar growth is a key evolutionary channel for low mass elliptical galaxies
Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Garreth Martin +3
How elliptical galaxies form is a key question in observational cosmology. While the formation of massive ellipticals is strongly linked to mergers, the low mass (Mstar < 10^9.5 MS…
Evidence for non-merger co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes
R. J. Smethurst, R. S. Beckmann, B. D. Simmons +7
Recent observational and theoretical studies have suggested that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow mostly through non-merger (`secular') processes. Since galaxy mergers lead to…
Supermassive black holes in merger-free galaxies have higher spins which are preferentially aligned with their host galaxy
R. S. Beckmann, R. J. Smethurst, B. D. Simmons +7
Here we use the Horizon-AGN simulation to test whether the spins of SMBHs in merger-free galaxies are higher. We select samples using an observationally motivated bulge-to-total ma…
Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: characterisation of tidal features from mock images
G. Martin, A. E. Bazkiaei, M. Spavone +50
Tidal features in the outskirts of galaxies yield unique information about their past interactions and are a key prediction of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. The Ve…
