Formation of Galaxy Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012
In this review, we describe our current understanding of cluster formation: from the general picture of collapse from initial density fluctuations in an expanding Universe to detailed simulations of cluster formation including the effects of galaxy ...

Galaxy Formation Theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Reports, 2010
We review the current theory of how galaxies form within the cosmological framework provided by the cold dark matter paradigm for structure formation. Beginning with the pre-galactic evolution of baryonic material we describe the analytical and numerical

Quasars and galaxy formation [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999
Quasars are widely believed to be powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes and there is now considerable evidence for a link between mergers, quasars and the formation of spheroids. Cattaneo, Haehnelt & Rees (1999) have demonstrated that a very

Fractional yields inferred from halo and thick disk stars [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2013
Linear [Q/H]-[O/H] relations, Q = Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, are inferred from a sample (N = 67) of recently studied FGK-type dwarf stars in the solar neighbourhood including different populations (Nissen and Schuster 2010, Ramirez et al ...

Constraints on Fluctuating Star Formation Rates for Intermediate-mass Galaxies with Hα and UV Luminosities

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the recent star formation histories (SFHs) of 575 intermediate-mass galaxies (IMGs, 10 ^9 ≤ M / M _⊙ ≤ 10 ^10 ) in COSMOS at 0.3 < z < 0.4 by comparing their H α and UV luminosities.

Formation of a Massive Lenticular Galaxy Under the Tidal Interaction with a Group of Dwarf Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Based on the atomic-hydrogen (H i ) observations using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, we present a detailed study of the gas-rich massive S0 galaxy NGC 1023 in a nearby galaxy group.

JWST Reveals a Population of Ultrared, Flattened Galaxies at 2 ≲ z ≲ 6 Previously Missed by HST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
With just a month of data, JWST is already transforming our view of the universe, revealing and resolving starlight in unprecedented populations of galaxies.

Rapid Quenching of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The existence of massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift seems to require rapid quenching, but it is unclear whether all quiescent galaxies have gone through this phase and what physical mechanisms are involved.

On the Origin and Evolution of the Intra-Cluster Light: A Brief Review of the Most Recent Developments

open access: yesGalaxies, 2021
Not all the light in galaxy groups and clusters comes from stars that are bound to galaxies. A significant fraction of it constitutes the so-called intracluster or diffuse light (ICL), a low surface brightness component of groups/clusters generally found

A Rest-frame Near-IR Study of Clumps in Galaxies at 1 < z < 2 Using JWST/NIRCam: Connection to Galaxy Bulges

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A key question in galaxy evolution has been the importance of the apparent “clumpiness” of high-redshift galaxies. Until now, this property has been primarily investigated in rest-frame UV, limiting our understanding of their relevance.
