Description
Galaxy evolution models typically rely on SMBH feedback to quench massive galaxies. Therefore, accurately modeling the growth of these objects in our simulations is essential. In this talk, I will present an analysis of the star formation in local galaxies across different cosmic web environments, namely voids, walls, filaments, and nodes.
Interpreted using a semi-analytic model, the analysis shows that quenching occurs similarly in massive galaxies regardless of the environment. Consequently, the growth of SMBHs, responsible for galaxy quenching, must be environment-independent. These results serve as a critical test for our galaxy evolution simulations.
