The star formation main sequence and stellar mass assembly of galaxies in the Illustris simulation

The star formation main sequence and stellar mass assembly of galaxies in the Illustris simulation

Understanding the physical processes that drive star formation is a key challenge for galaxy formation models. In this paper, we study the tight correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass of galaxies at a given redshift, how halo growth influences star formation, and star for...
