Circumgalactic medium depletion drives satellite quenching in IllustrisTNG

Satellite galaxies dominate the quenched population at low stellar masses ($M_\star \lesssim 10^{10}~\rm M_\odot$), yet identifying which processes shut down their star formation, their relative importance, and on what timescales, remain…

Satellite galaxies dominate the quenched population at low stellar masses ($M_\star \lesssim 10^{10}~\rm M_\odot$), yet identifying which processes shut down their star formation, their relative importance, and on what timescales, remains a central problem in galaxy evolution.…
