Connecting Star Formation Quenching with Galaxy Structure and Supermassive Black Holes through Gravitational Heating of Cooling Flows

open access: yes, 2014
Recent observations suggested that star formation quenching in galaxies is related to galaxy structure. Here we propose a new mechanism to explain the physical origin of this correlation. We assume that while quiescent galaxies are maintained quenched by

Quenching or Bursting: Star Formation Acceleration--A New Methodology for Tracing Galaxy Evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We introduce a new methodology for the direct extraction of galaxy physical parameters from multi-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy. We use semi-analytic models that describe galaxy evolution in the context of large scale cosmological simulation to ...

Mapping stellar content to dark matter halos - III.Environmental dependence and conformity of galaxy colours

open access: yes, 2017
Recent studies suggest that the quenching properties of galaxies are correlated over several mega-parsecs. The large-scale "galactic conformity" phenomenon around central galaxies has been regarded as a potential signature of "galaxy assembly bias" or ...

Nature versus nurture: what regulates star formation in satellite galaxies? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We use our state-of-the-art Galaxy Evolution and Assembly (GAEA) semi-analytic model to study how and on which time-scales star formation is suppressed in satellite galaxies.

Environmental quenching of low-mass field galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
In the local Universe, there is a strong division in the star-forming properties of low-mass galaxies, with star formation largely ubiquitous amongst the field population while satellite systems are predominantly quenched. This dichotomy implies that environmental processes play the dominant role in suppressing star formation within this low-mass ...

Inside-out growth or inside-out quenching? clues from colour gradients of local galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We constrain the spatial gradient of star formation history within galaxies using the colour gradients in NUV-u and u-i for a local spatially-resolved galaxy sample.

The Effect of Environment on the Properties of the Most Massive Galaxies at 0.5 < z < 2.5 in the COSMOS-DASH Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
How the environment influences the most massive galaxies is still unclear. To explore the effects of the environment on morphology and star formation in the most massive galaxies at high redshift, we select galaxies with stellar mass $\mathrm{log}({M}_ ...

AGN Jet-induced Feedback in Galaxies. II. Galaxy colours from a multicloud simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study the feedback from an AGN on stellar formation within its host galaxy, mainly using one high resolution numerical simulation of the jet propagation within the interstellar medium of an early-type galaxy. In particular, we show that in a realistic

Quenching of Massive Disk Galaxies in the IllustrisTNG Simulation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract A rare population of massive disk galaxies have been found to invade the red sequence dominated by early-type galaxies. The formation and origins of these red/quenched massive disk galaxies have recently gained great interest. The quenching mechanisms that are usually proposed, such as bar quenching and environment quenching, do

The environmental dependence of rapidly quenching and rejuvenating galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACT By combining H α flux measurements from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with ultraviolet (UV) flux observations from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), we examine the environmental dependence (through central/satellite distinction) of the rapid quenching and rejuvenation of galaxies.
