Quantitative Estimates of Environmental Effects on the Star Formation Rate of Disk Galaxies in Clusters of Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A simple model is constructed to evaluate the change of star formation rate of a disk galaxy due to environmental effects in clusters of galaxies. Three effects, (1) tidal force from the potential well of the cluster, (2) increase of external pressure ...

Theoretical Challenges in Galaxy Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Numerical simulations have become a major tool for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. Over the decades the field has made significant progress.

The Formation of Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983
The presently fashionable ideas for galaxy formation are reviewed briefly, and it is concluded that the standard isothermal heirarchy fits the available data best. A simple infall picture is presented which explains many of the observed properties of disk galaxies.

The Hydrangea simulations: galaxy formation in and around massive clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We introduce the Hydrangea simulations, a suite of 24 cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations of massive galaxy clusters (M200c = 1014–1015.4 M⊙) with baryon particle masses of ∼106 M⊙.

Galaxy Populations in Groups and Clusters: Evidence for a Characteristic Stellar Mass Scale at M ∗ ∼ 109.5 M ⊙

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We use the DR9 of the DESI legacy imaging survey and SDSS galaxy groups to measure the conditional luminosity function (CLF) for groups with halo mass M _h ≥ 10 ^12 M _⊙ and redshift 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.08, down to a limiting r -band magnitude of M _r = −10 to −

The formation of galaxy discs [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001
Galaxy disk formation must incorporate the multiphase nature of the interstellar medium. The resulting two-phase structure is generated and maintained by gravitational instability and supernova energy input, which yield a source of turbulent viscosity that is able to effectively compete in the protodisk phase with early angular momentum loss of the ...

FIRE in the field: Simulating the threshold of galaxy formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present a suite of 15 cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated dark matter haloes, all with masses of M_(halo) ≈ 10^(10) M_⊙ at z = 0, in order to understand the relationship among halo assembly, galaxy formation and feedback's effects on the ...

Bar Formation in Milky Way type Galaxies

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2016
Many barred galaxies, possibly including the Milky Way, have cusps in their centers. There is a widespread belief, however, that the usual bar instability, which occurs in bulgeless galaxy models, is impossible for cuspy models because of the presence of

Spatially Resolved Stellar Populations of 0.3 < z < 6.0 Galaxies in WHL 0137–08 and MACS 0647+70 Clusters as Revealed by JWST: How Do Galaxies Grow and Quench over Cosmic Time?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the spatially resolved stellar populations of 444 galaxies at 0.3 < z < 6.0 in two clusters (WHL 0137–08 and MACS 0647+70) and a blank field, combining imaging data from the Hubble Space Telescope and JWST to perform spatially resolved spectral ...
