Red Galaxies from Hot Halos in Cosmological Hydro Simulations

open access: yes, 2012
I highlight three results from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations that yield a realistic red sequence of galaxies: 1) Major galaxy mergers are not responsible for shutting off star-formation and forming the red sequence. Starvation in hot halos is. 2)

A Massive Quiescent Galaxy in a Group Environment at z = 4.53

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report on the spectroscopic confirmation of a massive quiescent galaxy at z _spec = 4.53 in the COSMOS field. The object was first identified as a galaxy with suppressed star formation at z _phot ∼ 4.65 from the COSMOS2020 catalog.

The SAGA Survey. V. Modeling Satellite Systems around Milky Way–Mass Galaxies with Updated UniverseMachine

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Environment plays a critical role in shaping the assembly of low-mass galaxies. Here, we use the U niverse M achine (UM) galaxy–halo connection framework and Data Release 3 of the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey to place dwarf galaxy ...

On the Origin of Quenched but Gas-rich Regions at Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We use resolved spectroscopy from MaNGA to investigate the significance of both local and global properties of galaxies to the cessation of star formation at kpc scales.

The quenching of star formation in galaxies

open access: yes, 2018
This thesis is concerned with investigating what makes star formation inefficient in galaxies. Cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation show that the energy produced in stars, supernova explosions and active galactic nuclei must couple back into a galaxy’s interstellar medium to prevent excess star formation.

Hedgehog: An Isolated Quiescent Dwarf Galaxy at 2.4 Mpc

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
It is well known that almost all isolated dwarf galaxies are actively forming stars. We report the discovery of dw1322m2053 (nicknamed Hedgehog), an isolated quiescent dwarf galaxy at a distance of 2.40 ± 0.15 Mpc with a stellar mass of M _⋆ ≈ 10 ^5.8 M ...

The Dependence of Dark Matter Halo Properties on the Morphology of Their Central Galaxies from Weak Lensing

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Xu & Jing reported a monotonic relationship between the host halo mass M _h and the morphology of massive central galaxies, characterized by the Sérsic index n , at fixed stellar mass, suggesting that morphology could serve as a good secondary proxy for ...
