Reconstructing the Projected Dark Matter Field across 0.1-100 Mpc Scales from the SDSS Survey

Kunyao Zhao, Yingjie Peng, Dingyi Zhao +16

Dark matter sets the gravitational environment in which galaxies form and evolve, but cannot be observed directly. We present a conditional diffusion model that reconstructs the pr…

No Detectable One-halo Galactic Conformity Signal with Halo-mass Estimates Consistent with Weak-lensing Constraints

Dingyi Zhao, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho +17

One-halo galactic conformity is the tendency for satellites in halos with quenched centrals to have lower star-formation activity than those in halos with star-forming centrals at…

Clumpy Starburst in a Local Dwarf Galaxy, NGC 1522

Liuze Long, Yulong Gao, Qiusheng Gu +8

To investigate the star-forming process in nearby dwarf galaxies, we present Integral Field Units (IFU) observation of the star-forming dwarf galaxy, NGC 1522, with the Very Large…

The critical role of dark matter halos in driving star formation

Jing Dou, Yingjie Peng, Qiusheng Gu +13

Understanding the physical mechanisms that drive star formation is crucial for advancing our knowledge of galaxy evolution. We explore the interrelationships between key galaxy pro…

The HI reservoir in central spiral galaxies and the implied star formation process

Jing Dou, Yingjie Peng, Qiusheng Gu +14

The cold interstellar medium (ISM) as the raw material for star formation is critical to understanding galaxy evolution. It is generally understood that galaxies stop making stars…

From Halos to Galaxies. VI. Improved halo mass estimation for SDSS groups and measurement of the halo mass function

Dingyi Zhao, Yingjie Peng, Yipeng Jing +18

In CDM cosmology, galaxies form and evolve in their host dark matter (DM) halos. Halo mass is crucial for understanding the halo-galaxy connection. The abundance matching (AM) t…

From Halos to Galaxies. X: Decoding Galaxy SEDs with Physical Priors and Accurate Star Formation History Reconstruction

Zeyu Gao, Yingjie Peng, Kai Wang +18

The spectral energy distribution (SED) of galaxies is essential for deriving fundamental properties like stellar mass and star formation history (SFH). However, conventional method…

From Halos to Galaxies. IX. Estimate of Halo Assembly History for SDSS Galaxy Groups

Cheqiu Lyu, Yingjie Peng, Yipeng Jing +15

The properties of the galaxies are tightly connected to their host halo mass and halo assembly history. Accurate measurement of the halo assembly history in observation is challeng…

From Halos to Galaxies. VII. The Connections Between Stellar Mass Growth History, Quenching History and Halo Assembly History for Central Galaxies

Cheqiu Lyu, Yingjie Peng, Yipeng Jing +12

The assembly of galaxies over cosmic time is tightly connected to the assembly of their host dark matter halos. We investigate the stellar mass growth history and the chemical enri…

Merger-induced star formation in low-metallicity dwarf galaxy NGC 4809/4810

Yulong Gao, Qiusheng Gu, Guilin Liu +5

The physical mechanisms driving starbursts in dwarf galaxies are unclear, and the effects of mergers on star formation in these galaxies are still uncertain. We explore how the mer…

Cold Gas in Massive Galaxies as A Critical Test of Black Hole Feedback Models

Jingjing Shi, Yingjie Peng, Benedikt Diemer +15

Black hole feedback has been widely implemented as the key recipe to quench star formation in massive galaxies in modern semi-analytic models and hydrodynamical simulations. As the…

From haloes to galaxies. III. The gas cycle of local galaxy populations

Jing Dou, Yingjie Peng, Alvio Renzini +12

In Dou et al. (2021), we introduced the Fundamental Formation Relation (FFR), a tight relation between specific SFR (sSFR), H star formation efficiency (SFE), and t…

Mass and Environment as Drivers of Galaxy Evolution. IV. On the Quenching of Massive Central Disk Galaxies in The Local Universe

Chengpeng Zhang, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho +13

The phenomenological study of evolving galaxy populations has shown that star forming galaxies can be quenched by two distinct processes: mass quenching and environment quenching (…

From haloes to galaxies -- II. The fundamental relations in star formation and quenching

Jing Dou, Yingjie Peng, Alvio Renzini +10

Star formation and quenching are two of the most important processes in galaxy formation and evolution. We explore in the local Universe the interrelationships among key integrated…

Nearly all Massive Quiescent Disk Galaxies have a Surprisingly Large Atomic Gas Reservoir

Chengpeng Zhang, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho +11

The massive galaxy population above the characteristic Schechter mass M*~10^10.6 Msun contributes to about half of the total stellar mass in the local Universe. These massive galax…

The Dependence of AGN Activity on Environment in SDSS

Zhong-yi Man, Ying-jie Peng, Xu Kong +3

Environment is one of the key external drivers of the galaxies, while active galactic nucleus (AGN) is one of the key internal drivers. Both of them play fundamental roles in regul…
