Cosmic evolution of stellar quenching by AGN feedback: clues from the Horizon-AGN simulation
The observed massive end of the local galaxy stellar mass function is steeper than its predicted dark matter (DM) halo counterpart in the standard $\Lambda $CDM paradigm. We investigate how active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback can account for such a reduction in the stellar content of massive galax...
