Extended Ly emission is ubiquitous around quasars and traces the cool circumgalactic medium, providing insights into halo gas dynamics and active galactic nucleus feedback. Howe…
Constraining the nature of active galactic nuclei through circumgalactic Lya emission at z=2-3
Shiwu Zhang, Zheng Cai, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia +8
We present a comprehensive analysis of circumgalactic Lya nebulae around 59 unobscured and 26 obscured quasars at z=2-3, observed with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI), to constra…
RUBIX: Differentiable forward modelling of galaxy spectral data cubes for gradient-based parameter estimation
Anna Lena Schaible, Ufuk Çakır, Tobias Buck +5
Although integral-field spectroscopy enables spatially resolved spectral studies of galaxies, bridging particle-based simulations to observations remains slow and non-differentiabl…
Testing the AGN unified model with simulated emission lines from the circumgalactic medium (CGM)
Shiwu Zhang, Zheng Cai, Aura Obreja +5
The CGM around unobscured AGN has received much attention in recent years. Comparatively, nebulae associated with obscured AGN are less studied. Here, we simulate the Ly, H,…
QSO MUSEUM III: the circumgalactic medium in Ly emission around 120 quasars covering the SDSS parameter space. Witnessing the instantaneous AGN feedback on halo scales
Jay González Lobos, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia, Aura Obreja +3
Recent surveys show that quasars are surrounded by Hydrogen Lyman- (Ly) glows with diverse emission levels and extents. These seem to depend on the activity of embedded…
Submillimeter galaxy overdensities around physically associated quasar pairs
Eileen Herwig, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia, Chian-Chou Chen +4
A commonly employed method to detect protoclusters in the young universe is the search for overdensities of massive star forming galaxies, such as submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), ar…
Bridging Simulations and Observations: New Insights into Galaxy Formation Simulations via Out-of-Distribution Detection and Bayesian Model Comparison
Lingyi Zhou, Stefan T. Radev, William H. Oliver +3
Cosmological simulations are a powerful tool to advance our understanding of galaxy formation and many simulations model key properties of real galaxies. A question that naturally…
QSO MUSEUM II: Search for extended Ly emission around eight quasar pairs
Eileen Herwig, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia, Jay González Lobos +7
Extended Ly emission is routinely found around single quasars (QSO) across cosmic time. However, few studies have investigated how such emission changes in fields with physicall…
Simulated [CII] in high-z galaxies
N. Muñoz-Elgueta, F. Arrigoni Battaia, G. Kauffmann +4
Extended [CII] emission on tens of kpc, also known as a [CII] halo, is being currently reported around z4-6 star-forming galaxies, especially thanks to the statistics of the…
HELLO project: High- Evolution of Large and Luminous Objects
Stefan Waterval, Andrea V. Macciò, Tobias Buck +6
We present the High- Evolution of Large and Luminous Objects (HELLO) project, a set of high-resolution cosmological simulations aimed to study Milky Way analogues ($M…
LMC Stars and Where to Find Them: Inferring Birth Radii for External Galaxies
Yuxi, Lu, Tobias Buck +5
It is well known that stars move away from their birth location over time via radial migration. This dynamical process makes computing the correct chemical evolution, e.g., metalli…
AGN radiation imprints on the circumgalactic medium of massive galaxies
Aura Obreja, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia, Andrea V. Macciò +1
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in cosmological simulations generate explosive feedback that regulates star formation in massive galaxies, modifying the gas phase structure out to lar…
