Journal ArticleDOI
Compaction and quenching of high-z galaxies in cosmological simulations: blue and red nuggets
Adi Zolotov,Adi Zolotov,Avishai Dekel,Nir Mandelker,Dylan Tweed,Dylan Tweed,Shigeki Inoue,Colin DeGraf,Daniel Ceverino,Daniel Ceverino,Joel R. Primack,Guillermo Barro,Sandra M. Faber +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used cosmological simulations to study a characteristic evolution pattern of high-redshift galaxies, which is consistent with the way galaxies populate the SFR-size-mass space, and with gradients and scatter across the main sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
The confinement of star-forming galaxies into a main sequence through episodes of gas compaction, depletion and replenishment
Sandro Tacchella,Avishai Dekel,C. Marcella Carollo,Daniel Ceverino,Daniel Ceverino,Colin DeGraf,Sharon Lapiner,Nir Mandelker,R. Primack Joel +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of high-redshift star-forming galaxies (SFGs) across their main sequence (MS) in the plane of star-formation rate (SFR) versus stellar mass were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of density profiles in high-z galaxies: compaction and quenching inside-out
Sandro Tacchella,Avishai Dekel,C. Marcella Carollo,Daniel Ceverino,Daniel Ceverino,Colin DeGraf,Sharon Lapiner,Nir Mandelker,Joel R. Primack +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the interplay between structure and star formation in high-redshift galaxies via the evolution of surface density profiles, and recover the main trends by stacking the profiles in accordance to their evolution phases, consistent with the scenario of wet compaction leading to inside-out quenching and subsequent saturation of a dense stellar core.
Journal ArticleDOI
The population of giant clumps in simulated high-z galaxies: in situ and ex situ migration and survival
Nir Mandelker,Avishai Dekel,Daniel Ceverino,Dylan Tweed,Christopher E. Moody,Joel R. Primack +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of giant clumps and their radial gradients in high-z$ disc galaxies using AMR cosmological simulations were studied, where clumps are identified by gas density in 3D and their stellar and dark matter components are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analytic solution for the minimal bathtub toy model: challenges in the star formation history of high-z galaxies
Avishai Dekel,Nir Mandelker +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the minimal bathtub toy model as an analytic tool for capturing key processes of galaxy evolution and identifying robust successes and challenges in reproducing observations at high redshift.
