The quenching of galaxies, bulges, and disks since cosmic noon: A machine learning approach for identifying causality in astronomical data

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Asa F. L. Bluck, Roberto Maiolino, Simcha Brownson, Christopher J. Conselice, Sara L. Ellison | Summary: We present an analysis of the quenching of star formation in galaxies, bulges, and disks throughout the bulk of cosmic history, from $z=2-0$. We utilise observations from the SDSS and MaNGA […]

ALMaQUEST — VII: Star Formation Scaling Relations of Green Valley Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Lihwai Lin, Sara L. Ellison, Hsi-An Pan, Mallory Thorp, Po-Chieh Yu | Summary: We utilize the ALMA-MaNGA QUEnch and STar formation (ALMaQUEST) survey to investigate the kpc-scale scaling relations, presented as the resolved star forming main sequence (rSFMS: $Sigma_{rm SFR}$ vs. $Sigma_{*}$), the resolved Schmidt-Kennicutt relation (rSK: […]

What drives galaxy quenching? A deep connection between galaxy kinematics and quenching in the local Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Simcha Brownson, Asa F. L. Bluck, Roberto Maiolino, Gareth C. Jones, | Summary: We develop a 2D inclined rotating disc model, which we apply to the stellar velocity maps of 1862 galaxies taken from the MaNGA survey (SDSS public Data Release 15). We use a random forest […]

Lessons for adaptive mesh refinement in numerical relativity

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Miren Radia, Ulrich Sperhake, Amelia Drew, Katy Clough, Pau Figueras | Summary: We demonstrate the flexibility and utility of the Berger-Rigoutsos Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) algorithm used in the open-source numerical relativity code GRChombo for generating gravitational waveforms from binary black-hole inspirals, and for studying other problems […]

Note on the absence of the second clock effect in Weyl gauge theories of gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, , , | Summary: We reconsider the status of the so-called second clock effect in Weyl gauge theories of gravity, which are invariant both under local Poincar’e transformations and local changes of scale. In particular, we revisit and extend our previous demonstration that […]

Galactic Winds across the Gas-Rich Merger Sequence: I. Highly Ionized N V and O VI Outflows in the QUEST Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Sylvain Veilleux, David S. N. Rupke, Weizhe Liu, Anthony To, Margaret Trippe | Summary: This program is part of QUEST (Quasar/ULIRG Evolutionary Study) and seeks to examine the gaseous environments of z < 0.3 quasars and ULIRGs as a function of host galaxy properties and age across […]

Enhanced monitoring of atmospheric methane from space with hierarchical Bayesian inference

Kavli Affiliate: Kaisey Mandel | First 5 Authors: Clayton Roberts, Oliver Shorttle, Kaisey Mandel, Matthew Jones, Rutger Ijzermans | Summary: Methane is a strong greenhouse gas, with a higher radiative forcing per unit mass and shorter atmospheric lifetime than carbon dioxide. The remote sensing of methane in regions of industrial activity is a key step […]
