Flyby Galaxy Encounters with Multiple Black Holes Produce Star-forming Linear Features

We look for simulated star-forming linear features such as the one recently discovered by van Dokkum et al. in the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation ASTRID . Among the runaway black holes in ASTRID , none are able to produce clear star-forming wakes. Meanwhile, flyby encounters, typically invol...
