Allison Man's Talk

Allison Man visited NTHU on 3rd January.
Allison is an ESO fellow, she studies evolution of massive galaxies.

Massive galaxies have 10^11 Msun at z=2 and 2x10^11 Msun at z=0, SFR < 10 and today they are ellipticals; but in the past they were something else.
Allison talked about the possible mechanisms that can explain early quenching in massive galaxies.
These are: 1) AGN feedback, 2) Halo quenching, 3) Morphological quenching.
Recent observations suggest that morphological quenching is not favourable anymore.
