Starbursts hiding in the main sequence: a pathway toward quenching?

Star-forming galaxies spend most of their lifetimes on the star-forming main sequence, which establishes a tight empirical and statistical relation between stellar mass and star-formation rate. Occasional episodes of rapid star formation can push them temporarily above this seque...

Zippers and Twisters: Planes of Satellite Galaxies Emerge from Whirling and Shocking Gas Streams in the Cosmic Web

Abstract We investigate dwarf satellite systems around massive centrals analogs (Milky Way to Centaurus A) in the NewHorizon simulation. Using simple estimators limiting overdetection, we identify planes of satellites comparable to observations in 30%–70% of cases. The full sampl...
