Density profile of dark matter haloes and galaxies in the Horizon-AGN simulation: the impact of AGN feedback

S. Peirani, Y. Dubois, M. Volonteri +7

Using a suite of three large cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, Horizon-AGN, Horizon-noAGN (no AGN feedback) and Horizon-DM (no baryons), we investigate how a typical sub-gri…

Galaxy Zoo: Quantitative Visual Morphological Classifications for 48,000 galaxies from CANDELS

B. D. Simmons, Chris Lintott, Kyle W. Willett +45

We present quantified visual morphologies of approximately 48,000 galaxies observed in three Hubble Space Telescope legacy fields by the Cosmic And Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic…

Delayed triggering of radio Active Galactic Nuclei in gas-rich minor mergers in the local Universe

Stanislav Shabala, Adam Deller, Sugata Kaviraj +5

We examine the processes triggering star formation and Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) activity in a sample of 25 low redshift () gas-rich galaxy mergers observed at milli-ar…

Major mergers are not significant drivers of star formation or morphological transformation around the epoch of peak cosmic star formation

E. K. Lofthouse, S. Kaviraj, C. J. Conselice +2

We investigate the contribution of major mergers (mass ratios ) to stellar mass growth and morphological transformations around the epoch of peak cosmic star formation ($z\si…

The Horizon-AGN simulation: evolution of galaxy properties over cosmic time

S. Kaviraj, C. Laigle, T. Kimm +6

We compare the predictions of Horizon-AGN, a hydro-dynamical cosmological simulation that uses an adaptive mesh refinement code, to observational data in the redshift range 0<z<6.…
