Downsizing of Galaxy Formation Explained by Gravitational Processes
Less massive galaxies form stars at later epochs. This downsizing of galaxy formation is explained by gravitational processes alone, in the framework of bottom-up scenario where galaxies evolve from subgalactic structures. Within a region that is destined to evolve into a less massive galaxy, subgalactic-scale fluctuation is of a smaller amplitude. The formation of subgalactic structures, i.e.,...
متن کاملNatural Downsizing in Hierarchical Galaxy Formation
Stellar-population analyses of today’s galaxies show “downsizing”, where the stars in more massive galaxies tend to have formed earlier and over a shorter time span. We show that this phenomenon is not necessarily “anti-hierarchical” but rather has its natural roots in the bottom-up clustering process of dark-matter haloes. While the main progenitor does indeed show an opposite effect, the inte...
متن کاملEvolutionary Tracks of Betelgeuse
We have constructed a series of quasi-hydrostatic evolutionary models for the M2 Iab supergiant Betelgeuse (α Orionis). Our models are constrained by the observed temperature, luminosity, surface composition and mass loss for this star, along with recent parallax measurements and high resolution imagery which directly determine its radius. The surface convective zone obtained in our model rough...
متن کاملThe Y Stellar Evolutionary Tracks
We present a database of the latest stellar models of the Y 2 (Yonsei-Yale) collaboration. This database contains the stellar evolutionary tracks from the pre-main-sequence birthline to the helium core flash that were used to construct the Y 2 isochrones (Yi et al. 2001; Kim et al. 2002). We also provide a simple interpolation routine that generates stellar tracks for given sets of parameters (...
متن کاملPrdm9 Polymorphism Unveils Mouse Evolutionary Tracks
PR/SET domain containing 9 (Prdm9) mediates histone modifications such as H3K4me3 and marks hotspots of meiotic recombination. In many mammalian species, the Prdm9 gene is highly polymorphic. Prdm9 polymorphism is assumed to play two critical roles in evolution: to diversify the spectrum of meiotic recombination hotspots and to cause male hybrid sterility, leading to reproductive isolation and ...
