Galaxy Quenching from Cosmic Web Detachment [PDF]

open access: goldThe Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2019
We propose the Cosmic Web Detachment (CWD) model, a framework to interpret the star-formation history of galaxies in a cosmological context. The CWD model unifies several starvation mechanisms known to disrupt or stop star formation into one single ...

Mapping stellar content to dark matter halos. II. Halo mass is the main driver of galaxy quenching [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2015
We develop a simple yet comprehensive method to distinguish the underlying drivers of galaxy quenching, using the clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing of red and blue galaxies in SDSS.

A Dichotomy in Satellite Quenching Around L* Galaxies [PDF]

open access: green, 2013
We examine the star formation properties of bright (~0.1 L*) satellites around isolated ~L* hosts in the local Universe using spectroscopically confirmed systems in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7. Our selection method is carefully designed with the aid

Mass and Environment as Drivers of Galaxy Evolution II: The quenching of satellite galaxies as the origin of environmental effects

open access: bronze, 2012
We extend the phenomenological study of the evolving galaxy population of Peng et al (2010) to the central/satellite dichotomy in Yang et al. SDSS groups.

Star formation quenching in massive galaxies [PDF]

open access: green, 2018
Understanding how and why star formation turns off in massive galaxies is a major challenge for studies of galaxy evolution. Many theoretical explanations have been proposed, but a definitive consensus is yet to be reached.Comment: Comment published in ...

From Clusters to Proto-Clusters: The Infrared Perspective on Environmental Galaxy Evolution

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Environment is one of the primary drivers of galaxy evolution; via multiple mechanisms, it can control the critical process of transforming galaxies from star forming to quiescent, commonly termed “quenching”. Despite its importance, however, we still do

The Fundamental Signature of Star Formation Quenching from AGN Feedback: A Critical Dependence of Quiescence on Supermassive Black Hole Mass, Not Accretion Rate

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We identify the intrinsic dependence of star formation quenching on a variety of galactic and environmental parameters, utilizing a machine-learning approach with Random Forest classification.

Galaxy Quenching with Mass Growth History of Galaxy Groups and Clusters: The Importance of Post-processing

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We investigate the fraction of quenched satellite galaxies in host galaxy groups and clusters using TNG300 in the IllustrisTNG cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations.

Investigating the Dominant Environmental Quenching Process in UVCANDELS/COSMOS Groups

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We explore how the fraction of quenched galaxies changes in groups of galaxies with respect to the distance to the center of the group, redshift, and stellar mass to determine the dominant process of environmental quenching in 0.2 < z < 0.8 groups.

CLEAR: The Morphological Evolution of Galaxies in the Green Valley

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Quiescent galaxies having more compact morphologies than star-forming galaxies has been a consistent result in the field of galaxy evolution. What is not clear is at what point this divergence happens, i.e., when do quiescent galaxies become compact, and
