The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project VII. Satellite quenching in zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass halo

Context. Satellite galaxies experience multiple physical processes when interacting with their host halos, often leading to the quenching of star formation. In the Local Group, satellite quenching has been shown to be highly efficient, affecting nearly all ...

Intergalactic magnetism in a γ -ray beam as a model of Porphyrion

Andrii Neronov

We estimate the magnetic field in the jets of the recently discovered 7 Mpc long Porphyrion system. We used nondetection of the system in gamma-rays to derive a lower bound on the co-moving magnetic field strength at the level of 10 nG (comoving). This val ...

Euclid: Early Release Observations of diffuse stellar structures and globular clusters as probes of the mass assembly of galaxies in the Dorado group?

Georges Meylan, Olivia Mueller

Deep surveys have helped to unveil the history of past and present galaxy mergers, and, in particular, uncovering their tidal debris and co-located globular clusters (GCs). Euclid’s unique combination of capabilities (spatial resolution, depth, and wide sk ...

Euclid preparation: LXV. Determining the weak lensing mass accuracy and precision for galaxy clusters

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

The ability to measure unbiased weak-lensing (WL) masses is a key ingredient to exploit galaxy clusters as a competitive cosmological probe with the ESA Euclid survey or future missions. We investigate the level of accuracy and precision of cluster masses ...

Beyond Gaussian fluctuations of quantum anharmonic nuclei: The case of rotational degrees of freedom

Lorenzo Monacelli

The atomic motion in molecular crystals, such as high-pressure hydrogen or hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, is very complex due to quantum anharmonic effects. In addition, these materials accommodate rotational degrees of freedom. All the approximate ...

Evidence for a Shallow Evolution in the Volume Densities of Massive Galaxies at z = 4-8 from CEERS

Michaela Hirschmann

We analyze the evolution of massive (log10[M ⋆/M ⊙] > 10) galaxies at z ∼ 4-8 selected from JWST Cosmic Evolution Early Release Survey (CEERS). We infer the physical properties of all galaxies in the CEERS NIRCam imaging through spectral energy distributio ...

Magnetic fields do not suppress global star formation in low metallicity dwarf galaxies

Robin Gopala Tress

Many studies concluded that magnetic fields suppress star formation in molecular clouds and Milky Way like galaxies. Ho we ver, most of these studies are based on fully developed fields that have reached the saturation level, with little work on investigat ...

CO enhancement by magnetohydrodynamic waves Striations in the Polaris Flare

Aris Evangelos Tritsis

Context. The formation of molecular gas in interstellar clouds is a slow process, but can be enhanced by gas compression. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves can create compressed quasi-periodic linear structures, referred to as striations. Striations are obse ...
