GEM
 

Welcome to Prof. Sukyoung K. Yi's group (GEM) homepage

이석영 교수의 은하진화 연구 그룹 홈페이지에 오신것을 환영합니다.





The ultimate goal of our group is to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies. We work on various versions of galaxy formation theories, focusing on dynamical clustering of galaxies and galactic chemical evolution in combination with stellar population synthesis. We extensively, but not exclusively, use SDSS and GALEX data to test our theoretical models.

    • Title: Star Formation of Merging Disk Galaxies with AGN Feedback Effects


    Explanation:
    Using idealized merger simulations, we investigated the effect of AGN feedback on the star formation. Unlike the previous studies, we varied many parameters such as mass ratio between two galaxies, B/T ratio, gas fraction, etc. Our main conclusions are as follows:
    1) AGN suppresses star formation more efficiently in a major merger than in a minor merger.
    2) AGN feedback wipes out the difference in star formation made by different B/T ratio.
    3) It is difficult to reproduce the trends seen in observational studies with the current AGN prescriptions.
