The formation of massive, quiescent galaxies at cosmic noon
The cosmic noon (z ∼ 1.5 − 3) marked a period of vigorous star formation for most galaxies. However, about a third of the more massive galaxies at those times were quiescent in the sense that their observed stellar populations are inconsistent with rapid star formation. The reduced star formation activity is often attributed to gaseous outflows driven by feedback from supermassive black holes, ...
متن کاملNearly Self-Consistent Disk-Bulge-Halo Models for Galaxies
We describe methods for setting up self-consistent disk-bulge-halo galaxy models. The bulge and halo distribution functions (df) are functions of E and Lz only. The halo’s flattening and rotation can be specified. The disk df is a function of E and Lz and a third “integral”, Ez, the vertical energy, which is approximately conserved in a warm disk with vertical extent. The models also have finit...
متن کاملTHE HUBBLE SEQUENCE BEYOND z = 2 FOR MASSIVE GALAXIES: CONTRASTING LARGE STAR-FORMING AND COMPACT QUIESCENT GALAXIES
We present HST NIC2 morphologies of a spectroscopic sample of massive galaxies at z ∼ 2.3, by extending our sample of nine compact quiescent galaxies (re ∼ 0.9 kpc) with ten massive emissionline galaxies. The emission-line galaxies are classified by the nature of their ionized emission; there are six star-forming galaxies and four galaxies hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN). The starformi...
متن کاملHalo gas accretion onto disk galaxies
Studies of the halo gas in the Milky Way and in nearby spiral galaxies show the presence of gas complexes that cannot be reconciled with an internal (galactic fountain) origin and are direct evidence of gas accretion. Estimating gas accretion rates from these features consistently gives values, which are one order of magnitude lower than what is needed to feed the star formation. I show that th...
متن کاملProperties of Atomic Gas in Spiral Galaxies
Physical properties of the atomic gas in spiral galaxies are brie y considered. Although both Warm (WNM, 10 K) and Cool (CNM, 100 K) atomic phases coexist in many environments, the dominant mass contribution within a galaxy's star-forming disk (R25) is that of the CNM. Mass fractions of 60 to 90% are found within R25. The CNM is concentrated within moderately opaque laments with a face-on surfa...
