We develop a new realistic prescription for modeling the stellar feedback, which minimizes any ad hoc assumptions about sub-grid physics. We start with developing high resolution models of the ISM and formulate the conditions required for…

JWST is providing the unique opportunity to directly study feedback processes regulating star formation (SF) in early galaxies. The two $z>5$ quiescent systems (JADES-GS-z7-01-QU and MACS0417-z5BBG) detected so far show a recent starburst…
We present a new comprehensive model of the physics of galaxy formation designed for large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of structure formation using the moving mesh code AREPO. Our model includes primordial and metal line cooling with…
Quasar feedback outflows are commonly invoked to drive gas out of galaxies in the early gas-rich epoch to terminate growth of galaxies. Here we present simulations that show that AGN feedback may drive not only gas but also stars out of…
We measured the Concentration (C) index of H\alpha and CO (J = 2-1) in 17 nearby star-forming galaxies from the PHANGS survey. We have found four barred spiral galaxies with a C(H\alpha)/C(CO) ratio of ~ 0.3-0.4, while the other 13 galaxies…
Star formation quenching is one of the key processes that shape the evolution of galaxies. In this study, we investigate the changes in molecular gas and star formation properties as galaxies transit from the star-forming main sequence to…

Increasing evidence shows that AGN with radio detections have more perturbed ionized gas kinematics and higher outflow detection rates, suggesting a link between radio emission and these processes. In galaxies with weak or ambiguous AGN…
We study the formation and evolution of elliptical galaxies and how they suppress star formation and maintain it quenched. A one-zone chemical model which follows in detail the time evolution of gas mass and its chemical abundances during…
We discuss preliminary results from our programme to map the fields of high-redshift AGN. In the context of the hierarchical models such fields are predicted to contain an over-density of young, luminous galaxies destined to evolve into the…

We investigate phenomenological models of star formation and supernova feedback in N-body/SPH simulations of galaxy formation. First, we compare different prescriptions in the literature for turning cold gas into stars neglecting feedback…
Galaxy mergers have long been proposed as a mechanism for funneling gas toward galactic centres, potentially triggering accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and igniting active galactic nuclei (AGN). While simulations often…
Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations provide valuable insights on galaxy evolution when coupled with observational data. Comparisons with real galaxies are typically performed via scaling relations of the observables. Here we follow an…

In this paper, we present a new implementation of feedback due to active galactic nuclei (AGN) in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation. We assume that a fraction of jet energy, which is generated by an AGN, is transferred to the…
