VERTICO and IllustrisTNG: The Spatially Resolved Effects of Environment on Galactic Gas

Yannick Michael Bahé

It has been shown in previous publications that the TNG100 simulation quantitatively reproduces the observed reduction in each of the total atomic and total molecular hydrogen gas for galaxies within massive halos, i.e., dense environments. In this Letter, ...

A case study of an early galaxy cluster with the Athena X-IFU

Yannick Michael Bahé

Context. Observations of the hot gas in distant clusters of galaxies, though challenging, are key to understanding the role of intense galaxy activity, supermassive black hole feedback, and chemical enrichment in the process of massive halo assembly.|Aims. ...

Euclid: Early Release Observations – The intracluster light and intracluster globular clusters of the Perseus cluster

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yannick Michael Bahé

We study the intracluster light (ICL) and intracluster globular clusters (ICGCs) in the nearby Perseus cluster of galaxies using Euclid’s Early Release Observations. By modelling the isophotal and iso-density contours, we mapped the distributions and prope ...

Swift : a modern highly parallel gravity and smoothed particle hydrodynamics solver for astrophysical and cosmological applications

Yves Revaz, Yannick Michael Bahé, Loïc Hausammann, Mladen Ivkovic

Numerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest existing computing systems and exploit state-of-the-art numerical methods and ...

Resolved UV and Optical Color Gradients Reveal Environmental Influence on Galaxy Evolution at Redshift z ∼ 1.6

Yannick Michael Bahé

The changes in colors across a galaxy are intimately connected to the galaxy’s formation, growth, quenching history, and dust content. A particularly important epoch in the growth of galaxies is near z ∼ 2, often referred to as “cosmic noon,” where galaxie ...

Distinct origins of environmentally quenched galaxies in the core and outer virialised regions of massive clusters at 0.8 &lt; z &lt; 1.5

Yannick Michael Bahé

High-redshift (

z

∼ 1) galaxy clusters are the domain where environmental quenching mechanisms are expected to emerge as important factors in the evolution of the quiescent galaxy population. Uncovering these initially subtle effects requires exploring mu ...

Virgo Filaments. V. Disrupting the Baryon Cycle in the NGC 5364 Galaxy Group

Pascale Jablonka, Yannick Michael Bahé, Damien Louis Alexandre Spérone-Longin, Gautam Ramakrishnan Nagaraj

The Virgo Filament Survey (VFS) is a comprehensive study of galaxies that reside in the extended filamentary structures surrounding the Virgo Cluster, out to 12 virial radii. The primary goal is to characterize all of the dominant baryonic components withi ...

FLAMINGO: calibrating large cosmological hydrodynamical simulations with machine learning

Yannick Michael Bahé

To fully take advantage of the data provided by large-scale structure surveys, we need to quantify the potential impact of baryonic effects, such as feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation, on cosmological observables. In simulations, ...

Assembly of the intracluster light in the Horizon-AGN simulation

Yannick Michael Bahé

The diffuse stellar component of galaxy clusters made up of intergalactic stars is termed the intracluster light (ICL). Although there is a developing understanding of the mechanisms by which the ICL is formed, no strong consensus has yet been reached on w ...

The FLAMINGO project: cosmological hydrodynamical simulations for large-scale structure and galaxy cluster surveys

Yannick Michael Bahé

We introduce the Virgo Consortium's FLAMINGO suite of hydrodynamical simulations for cosmology and galaxy cluster physics. To ensure the simulations are sufficiently realistic for studies of large-scale structure, the subgrid prescriptions for stellar and ...

Intra-cluster light as a dynamical clock for galaxy clusters: Insights from the MAGNETICUM, IllustrisTNG, Hydrangea, and Horizon-AGN simulations

Yannick Michael Bahé

Context. As the most massive nodes of the cosmic web, galaxy clusters represent the best probes of structure formation. Over time, they grow by accreting and disrupting satellite galaxies, adding those stars to the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) and the in ...

The impact of stochastic modelling on the predictive power of galaxy formation simulations

Yannick Michael Bahé

All modern galaxy formation models employ stochastic elements in their sub-grid prescriptions to discretize continuous equations across the time domain. In this paper, we investigate how the stochastic nature of these models, notably star formation, black ...

Prospects for detecting the circum- and intergalactic medium in X-ray absorption using the extended intracluster medium as a backlight

Yannick Michael Bahé

The warm-hot plasma in cosmic web filaments is thought to comprise a large fraction of the gas in the local Universe. So far, the search for this gas has focused on mapping its emission, or detecting its absorption signatures against bright, point-like sou ...

BEACON: JWST NIRCam Pure-parallel Imaging Survey. I. Survey Design and Initial Results

Yannick Michael Bahé

We introduce the Bias-free Extragalactic Analysis for Cosmic Origins with NIRCam (BEACON) survey, a JWST Cycle 2 program allocated up to 600 pure-parallel hours of observations. BEACON explores high-latitude areas of the sky with JWST/NIRCam over ∼100 inde ...

Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: a comparison of observable and simulated intracluster light fractions

Yannick Michael Bahé

Intracluster light (ICL) provides an important record of the interactions galaxy clusters have undergone. However, we are limited in our understanding by our measurement methods. To address this, we measure the fraction of cluster light that is held in the ...

Insights into environmental quenching at z ∼ 1: an enhancement of faint, low-mass passive galaxies in clusters

Yannick Michael Bahé

Understanding the processes that transform star-forming galaxies into quiescent ones is key to unraveling the role of environment in galaxy evolution. We present measurements of the luminosity functions (LFs) and stellar mass functions (SMFs) of passive re ...

An environment-dependent halo mass function as a driver for the early quenching of z ≥ 1.5 cluster galaxies

Yannick Michael Bahé

Many z approximate to 1.5 galaxies with a stellar mass (M star) >= 1010M(circle dot) are already quenched in both galaxy clusters (>50 per cent) and the field (>20 per cent), with clusters having a higher quenched fraction at all stellar masses compared to ...

Traversing the Star-forming Main Sequence with Molecular Gas Stacks of z ∼ 1.6 Cluster Galaxies

Yannick Michael Bahé

The cluster environment has been shown to affect the molecular gas content of cluster members, yet a complete understanding of this often subtle effect has been hindered due to a lack of detections over the full parameter space of galaxy star formation rat ...

The stellar mass function of quiescent galaxies in 2 < z < 2.5 protoclusters

Pascale Jablonka, Michaela Hirschmann, Yannick Michael Bahé

We present an analysis of the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF) of 14 known protoclusters between 2.0 < z < 2.5 in the COSMOS field, down to a mass limit of 10(9.5) M⊙. We use existing photometric redshifts with a statistical background subtraction, and c ...

TangoSIDM Project: is the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation consistent with SIDM?

Yannick Michael Bahé

Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) has the potential to significantly influence galaxy formation in comparison to the cold, collisionless dark matter paradigm (CDM), resulting in observable effects. This study aims to elucidate this influence and to demon ...
