Growing a Galaxy
Today’s paper puts simulation-based theories to the test as we look at some of the most massive disk galaxies and find out how they grew to their enormous sizes!

Why are so many modern galaxies not actively forming stars? Today’s guest post by Katherine Lee explores one mechanism that may quench star formation in Milky Way-like galaxies.
Galaxies in the middle of clusters are usually huge, elliptical galaxies. So what is this spiral-shaped imposter doing here?
Put three supermassive black holes in one simulation and let them fight over the center stage. Will there be a survivor?
Today’s bite explores the two main pathways of S0 galaxy formation, ram-pressure stripping and galaxy mergers.
When galaxies fall into galaxy clusters, the consequences can be quite epic. But are they more epic with Self-Interacting Dark Matter? Today’s paper suggests the answer is yes. Bite also available in Dutch / Deze Bite is ook beschikbaar in het Nederlands!
