Morphology and star formation in IllustrisTNG: the build-up of spheroids and discs [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 Using the IllustrisTNG simulations, we investigate the connection between galaxy morphology and star formation in central galaxies with stellar masses in the range 109–1011.5 M⊙.

Nonparametric Star Formation History Reconstruction with Gaussian Processes. I. Counting Major Episodes of Star Formation [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 The star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies contain imprints of the physical processes responsible for regulating star formation during galaxy growth and quenching. We improve the Dense Basis SFH reconstruction method of Iyer & Gawiser, introducing a

THE AVERAGE STAR FORMATION HISTORIES OF GALAXIES IN DARK MATTER HALOS FROM z = 0–8 [PDF]
, 2012 We present a robust method to constrain average galaxy star formation rates (SFRs), star formation histories (SFHs), and the intracluster light (ICL) as a function of halo mass.

The Role of Magnetic Fields in Setting the Star Formation Rate and the Initial Mass Function [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019 Star-forming gas clouds are strongly magnetized, and their ionization fractions are high enough to place them close to the regime of ideal magnetohydrodyamics on all but the smallest size scales.

A Redshift-independent Efficiency Model: Star Formation and Stellar Masses in Dark Matter Halos at z ≳ 4 [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 We explore the connection between the UV luminosity functions (LFs) of high-z galaxies and the distribution of stellar masses and star formation histories (SFHs) in their host dark matter halos.

A gamma-ray determination of the Universe’s star formation history [PDF]
Science, 2018 Gamma rays reveal the Universe's history How many stars have formed in the Universe, and when did they do so? These fundamental questions are difficult to answer because there are systematic uncertainties in converting the light we observe into the total

Impact of supermassive black hole growth on star formation [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2017 Supermassive black holes are found at the centres of massive galaxies. During the growth of these black holes they light up to become visible as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and release extraordinary amounts of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum.

The Origin of Star Formation in Early-type Galaxies Inferred from Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the origin of star formation activity in early-type galaxies with current star formation using spatially resolved spectroscopic data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
