The IllustrisTNG simulations: public data release

D Nelson, V Springel, A Pillepich… - Computational …, 2019 - Springer
We present the full public release of all data from the TNG100 and TNG300 simulations of

Wet compaction to a blue nugget: a critical phase in galaxy evolution

S Lapiner, A Dekel, J Freundlich… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We utilize high-resolution cosmological simulations to reveal that high-redshift galaxies tend
to undergo a robust 'wet compaction'event when near a 'golden'stellar mass of. This is a …

Combined CO and dust scaling relations of depletion time and molecular gas fractions with cosmic time, specific star-formation rate, and stellar mass

R Genzel, LJ Tacconi, D Lutz, A Saintonge… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We combine molecular gas masses inferred from CO emission in 500 star-forming galaxies
(SFGs) between z= 0 and 3, from the IRAM-COLDGASS, PHIBSS1/2, and other surveys, with …

THE KMOS3D SURVEY: DESIGN, FIRST RESULTS, AND THE EVOLUTION OF GALAXY KINEMATICS FROM 0.7⩽ z⩽ 2.7

E Wisnioski, NMF Schreiber, S Wuyts… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the KMOS 3D survey, a new integral field survey of over 600 galaxies at 0.7< z<

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

A Zolotov, A Dekel, N Mandelker… - Monthly Notices of …, 2015 - academic.oup.com

Strongly baryon-dominated disk galaxies at the peak of galaxy formation ten billion years ago

R Genzel, NMF Schreiber, H Übler, P Lang, T Naab… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
In the cold dark matter cosmology, the baryonic components of galaxies—stars and gas—
are thought to be mixed with and embedded in non-baryonic and non-relativistic dark matter …

A unified model for galactic discs: star formation, turbulence driving, and mass transport

MR Krumholz, B Burkhart, JC Forbes… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We introduce a new model for the structure and evolution of the gas in galactic discs. In the
model the gas is in vertical pressure and energy balance. Star formation feedback injects …

The confinement of star-forming galaxies into a main sequence through episodes of gas compaction, depletion and replenishment

S Tacchella, A Dekel, CM Carollo… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Using cosmological simulations, we address the properties of high-redshift star-forming
