On the origin of globular clusters in a hierarchical universe

We present an end-to-end description of the formation of globular clusters (GCs) combining a treatment for their formation and dynamical evolution within galaxy haloes with a state-of-the-art semi-analytic simulation of galaxy formation. Our approach allow ...

The Origins of Gas Accreted by Supermassive Black Holes: The Importance of Recycled Gas

Michaela Hirschmann

We investigate the fueling mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by analyzing 10 zoom-in cosmological simulations of massive galaxies, with stellar masses 1011-12 M circle dot and SMBH masses 108.9-9.7 M circle dot at z = 0, featuring various majo ...

Strong gravitational lensing's 'external shear' is not shear

David Richard Harvey, Mathilde Jauzac, Richard Massey

The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power-law plus 'external shear', which notionally accounts for neighbouring galaxies and cosmic shear along our line of sight. A small amount of externa ...

SUNBIRD : a simulation-based model for full-shape density-split clustering

Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez

Combining galaxy clustering information from regions of different environmental densities can help break cosmological parameter degeneracies and access non-Gaussian information from the density field that is not readily captured by the standard two-point c ...

Euclid: Improving the efficiency of weak lensing shear bias calibration

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Marcello Farina

To obtain an accurate cosmological inference from upcoming weak lensing surveys such as the one conducted by Euclid, the shear measurement requires calibration using galaxy image simulations. As it typically requires millions of simulated galaxy images and ...

Extremely Red Galaxies at z=5-9 with MIRI and NIRSpec: Dusty Galaxies or Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei?

Michaela Hirschmann

We study a new population of extremely red objects (EROs) recently discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) based on their NIRCam colors F277W - F444W > 1.5 mag. We find 37 EROs in the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS) field ...

The Complete CEERS Early Universe Galaxy Sample: A Surprisingly Slow Evolution of the Space Density of Bright Galaxies at z ∼ 8.5-14.5

Michaela Hirschmann

We present a sample of 88 candidate z similar to 8.5-14.5 galaxies selected from the completed NIRCam imaging from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science survey. These data cover similar to 90 arcmin2 (10 NIRCam pointings) in six broadband imaging filt ...

Technosignatures Longevity and Lindy's Law

Claudio Grimaldi

The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e., evidence of technological activity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time interval over which they manifest. Therefore, the assumed distribution of longevities has some bearing on the ...

The phase-space distribution of the M 81 satellite system

Oliver Müller, Nick Heesters

The spatial distribution of dwarf galaxies around their host galaxies is a critical test for the standard model of cosmology because it probes the dynamics of dark matter halos and is independent of the internal baryonic processes of galaxies. Comoving pla ...

Evolution of the Size-Mass Relation of Star-forming Galaxies Since z=5.5 Revealed by CEERS

Michaela Hirschmann

We combine deep imaging data from the CEERS early release JWST survey and Hubble Space Telescope imaging from CANDELS to examine the size-mass relation of star-forming galaxies and the morphology-quenching relation at stellar masses M-star >= 10(9.5)M(circ ...

Probing the nature of Dark Energy through the study of large scale structures using spectroscopic surveys and their simulations

Andrei Variu

Measurements of large-scale structure (LSS), as performed on the largest 3D map of over two million extragalactic sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, together with measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, are in complete a ...

Euclid preparation XXX. Performance assessment of the NISP red grism through spectroscopic simulations for the wide and deep surveys

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Michaela Hirschmann, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

This work focusses on the pilot run of a simulation campaign aimed at investigating the spectroscopic capabilities of the Euclid NearInfrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP), in terms of continuum and emission line detection in the context of galaxy evo ...

Euclid preparation XXII. Selection of quiescent galaxies from mock photometry using machine learning

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

The Euclid Space Telescope will provide deep imaging at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, along with slitless near-infrared spectroscopy, across similar to 15 000deg(2) of the sky. Euclid is expected to detect similar to 12 billion astronomical source ...

Semi-analytic forecasts for Roman - the beginning of a new era of deep-wide galaxy surveys

Michaela Hirschmann

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA's next flagship observatory, will redefine deep-field galaxy survey with a field of view two orders of magnitude larger than Hubble and an angular resolution of matching quality. These future deep-wide galaxy sur ...

Revealing galaxy candidates out to z similar to 16 with JWST observations of the lensing cluster SMACS0723

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Johan Richard

One of the main goals of the JWST is to study the first galaxies in the Universe. We present a systematic photometric analysis of very distant galaxies in the first JWST deep field towards the massive lensing cluster SMACS0723. As a result, we report the d ...

Gaia Data Release 3: The extragalactic content

Shuangqing Liao, Richard Irving Anderson, Mária Süveges, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos

The Gaia Galactic survey mission is designed and optimized to obtain astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy of nearly two billion stars in our Galaxy. Yet as an all-sky multi-epoch survey, Gaia also observes several million extragalactic objects down to ...

Examining the relationship between the bulge-to-total stellar mass ratio and dwarf galaxy count in the context of ΛCDM

Oliver Müller

Previous results suggest that there is a correlation between the size of the bulge of a galaxy and the number of its dwarf galaxy satellites. This was found to be inconsistent with the standard model of cosmology based on comparisons to semi-analytical dar ...

Spectral Templates Optimal for Selecting Galaxies at z > 8 with the JWST

Michaela Hirschmann

The selection of high-redshift galaxies often involves spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to photometric data, an expectation for contamination levels, and measurement of sample completeness-all vetted through comparison to spectroscopic redshift m ...

The imprint of galaxy mergers on satellite planes in a cosmological context

Oliver Müller

Flattened and kinematically correlated planes of dwarf satellite galaxies have been observed in the Local Volume. The slinging out of satellites during host galaxy mergers has been suggested as a formation mechanism for these peculiar structures. We statis ...

Resolving Galactic-scale Obscuration of X-Ray AGNs at z & GSIM; 1 with COSMOS-Web

Michaela Hirschmann

A large fraction of the accreting supermassive black hole population is shrouded by copious amounts of gas and dust, particularly in the distant (z & GSIM; 1) universe. While much of the obscuration is attributed to a parsec-scale torus, there is a known c ...
