The environmental dependence of gas accretion onto galaxies: quenching satellites through starvation

Freeke van de Voort, Yannick M. Bahé, Richard G. Bower +4

Galaxies that have fallen into massive haloes may no longer be able to accrete gas from their surroundings, a process referred to as 'starvation' or 'strangulation' of satellites.…

A massive, quiescent, population II galaxy at a redshift of 2.1

Mariska Kriek, Charlie Conroy, Pieter G. van Dokkum +7

Unlike spiral galaxies such as the Milky Way, the majority of the stars in massive elliptical galaxies were formed in a short period early in the history of the Universe. The durat…

The Effect of Galactic Feedback on Gas Accretion and Wind Recycling

Freeke van de Voort

In the absence of galactic winds, the rate at which gas accretes onto galaxies is determined by the gravitational potential and by radiative cooling. However, outflows driven by su…

Galaxy growth from redshift 5 to 0 at fixed comoving number density

Freeke van de Voort

Studying the average properties of galaxies at a fixed comoving number density over a wide redshift range has become a popular observational method, because it may trace the evolut…

Cold-Mode Accretion: Driving the Fundamental Mass-Metallicity Relation at z~2

Glenn G. Kacprzak, Freeke van de Voort, Karl Glazebrook +10

We investigate the star formation rate (SFR) dependence on the stellar mass and gas-phase metallicity relation at z=2 with MOSFIRE/Keck as part of the ZFIRE survey. We have identif…
