MaNGA AGN dwarf galaxies (MAD) -- III. The role of mergers and environment in AGN activity in dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Investigating whether and how galaxy mergers affect black hole growth can be determinant for black hole-galaxy evolution models and, in particular, for understanding how early Universe seed black holes grew to become supermassive. However, while mergers have been observed to enhance the active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity, and thus black hole growth

The Emergence of a Brightest Cluster Galaxy in a Protocluster Core at z = 2.24

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the detection of a pair of massive quiescent galaxies likely in the process of merging at the center of the spectroscopically confirmed, extremely massive protocluster BOSS1244 at z = 2.24 ± 0.02.

A Break in the Size–Stellar Mass Relation: Evidence for Quenching and Feedback in Dwarf Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Mapping stars and gas in nearby galaxies is fundamental for understanding their growth and the impact of their environment. This issue is addressed by comparing the stellar “edges” of galaxies D _stellar , defined as the outermost diameter where in situ ...

Evidence for Environmental Effects in the z = 4.3 Protocluster Core SPT2349–56

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of the [C I ] 492 and 806 GHz fine-structure lines in 25 dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) at z = 4.3 in the core of the SPT2349–56 protocluster.

Modeling the Multiwavelength Detection of Protoclusters. I. An Excess of Submillimeter Galaxies in Protocluster Cores

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Studies of galaxy protoclusters yield insights into galaxy cluster formation complementary to those obtained via “archaeological” studies of present-day galaxy clusters.

Systematically Measuring Ultra-diffuse Galaxies (SMUDGes). VI. Nuclear Star Clusters

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present our photometric search for potential nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) as an extension of the SMUDGes catalog. We identify 325 SMUDGes galaxies with NSCs and, from the 144 with existing distance estimates, identify ...
