25 Clump Evolution during Migration: Summary - SFR in clumps drives η~1-2 steady winds - Gas gain by accretion - Stellar loss by tidal stripping - The massive clumps keep ~constant mass - They live for t mig ~ 300 Myr - They feed gas & stars to the bulge - Less massive clumps disrupt Expect a weak gradient of clump mass in disks Certain gradient in age/color

42 Conclusions 1. Disks are fed by cosmic-web cold streams: smooth + mergers - Interphase streams-disk: to be studied - Outflows and inflows live in harmony 2. Violent disk instability (VDI): by intense gas in-streaming and high density - In-situ clumps and transient features, plus merged clumps - In-situ clumps are 70% in number and SFR but 45% in mass, younger higher ssfr (blue), lower Z, showing certain gradients due to migration - Steady mass loss by momentum-driven outflows from clumps, η~1-2 - The clumps grow by accretion from the disk during migration, M~const. 3. VDI-driven inflow to disk center classical compact bulge - Blue nuggets (and AGN) when the inflow is wet, i.e. faster than SFR VDI and mergers. This is when Σ gas is high, at high z and in galaxies of low spin or high mass - The nuggets are dispersion-dominated - Fast mode: bulge quenching to red nuggets by stellar/agn feedback, maintained by halo heating. - Slow mode: dominated by halo quenching
