Heart of darkness: the influence of galactic dynamics on quenching star formation in galaxy spheroids

J Gensior, JMD Kruijssen… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Quenched galaxies are often observed to contain a strong bulge component. The key
question is whether this reflects a causal connection–can star formation be quenched …

The impact of chemistry on the structure of high-z galaxies

The physical origin of long gas depletion times in galaxies

VA Semenov, AV Kravtsov… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a model that explains why galaxies form stars on a timescale significantly longer
than the timescales of processes governing the evolution of interstellar gas. We show that …
