A large population of strongly lensed faint submillimetre galaxies in future dark energy surveys inferred from JWST imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: James Pearson, Stephen Serjeant, Wei-Hao Wang, Zhen-Kai Gao, Arif Babul | Summary: Bright galaxies at sub-millimetre wavelengths from Herschel are now well known to be predominantly strongly gravitationally lensed. The same models that successfully predicted this strongly lensed population also predict about one percent of faint […]

On the dominant role of wind in the quasar feedback mode in the late stage evolution of massive elliptical galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: In this paper we investigate the role of AGN feedback on the late stage evolution of elliptical galaxies by performing high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation in the {it MACER} framework. By comparing models that take into account different feedback mechanisms, namely AGN and […]
