Compaction and quenching of high-z galaxies in cosmological simulations: blue and red nuggets

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

Evolution of density profiles in high-z galaxies: compaction and quenching inside-out

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

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

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.
