The evolution of the barred galaxy population in the TNG50 simulation
Yetli Rosas-Guevara, Silvia Bonoli, Massimo Dotti +8
We use the magnetic-hydrodynamical simulation TNG50 to study the evolution of barred massive disc galaxies. Massive spiral galaxies are already present as early as , and bar f…
On the low ortho-to-para H2 ratio in star-forming filaments
Alessandro Lupi, Stefano Bovino, Tommaso Grassi
The formation of stars and planetary systems is a complex phenomenon, which relies on the interplay of multiple physical processes. Nonetheless, it represents a crucial stage for o…
High-redshift quasars and their host galaxies II: multiphase gas and stellar kinematics
Alessandro Lupi, Marta Volonteri, Roberto Decarli +2
Observations of quasars provide information on the early phases of the most massive black holes (MBHs) and galaxies. Current observations at sub-mm wavelengths trace…
The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. III: Cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass halo
Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Ji-hoon Kim, Loic Hausammann +20
We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to of a halo at , obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simul…
Chemical analysis of prestellar cores in Ophiuchus yields short timescales and rapid collapse
Stefano Bovino, Alessandro Lupi, Andrea Giannetti +4
Sun-like stars form from the contraction of cold and dense interstellar clouds. How the collapse proceeds and what are the main physical processes driving it, however, is still und…
Chemical post-processing of magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of star-forming regions: robustness and pitfalls
Simón Ferrada-Chamorro, Alessandro Lupi, Stefano Bovino
A common approach to model complex chemistry in numerical simulations is via post-processing of existing magneto-hydrodynamic simulations, relying on computing the evolution of che…
The role of bars on the dynamical-friction driven inspiral of massive perturbers
Elisa Bortolas, Matteo Bonetti, Massimo Dotti +4
In this paper, we systematically explore the impact of a galactic bar on the inspiral time-scale of a massive object (MO) within a Milky Way-like galaxy. We integrate the orbit of…
Forming massive seed black holes in high-redshift quasar host progenitors
Alessandro Lupi, Zoltan Haiman, Marta Volonteri
The presence of massive black holes (BHs) with masses of order , powering bright quasars when the Universe was less than 1 Gyr old, poses strong constraints on t…
