Rapid Dark Growth of Seed Black Holes in Self-Interacting Dark Matter
Yu Rong, Shuang-Nan Zhang, Jian-Min Wang +1
The rapid emergence of massive black holes in the early Universe, possibly related to Little Red Dots, challenges conventional growth from light seeds. Dark-matter accretion offers…
Galaxy Group Ellipticity Confirms a Younger Cosmos
Yu Rong
We present an analysis of the ellipticities of galaxy groups, derived from the spatial distribution of member galaxies, revealing a notable incongruity between the observed local g…
The Clumpy Structure Of Five Star-bursting Dwarf Galaxies In The MaNGA Survey
Mengting Ju, Jun Yin, Lei Hao +6
The star-forming clumps in star-bursting dwarf galaxies provide valuable insights into the understanding of the evolution of dwarf galaxies. In this paper, we focus on five star-bu…
MaNGA 8313-1901: gas accretion observed in a blue compact dwarf galaxy?
Mengting Ju, Jun Yin, Rongrong Liu +13
Gas accretion is an important process in the evolution of galaxies, but it has limited direct observational evidences. In this paper, we report the detection of a possible ongoing…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Cannibalism Caught in the Act -- on the Frequency of Occurrence of Multiple Cores in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
Yun-Hsin Hsu, Yen-Ting Lin, Song Huang +16
Although it is generally accepted that massive galaxies form in a two-phased fashion, beginning with a rapid mass buildup through intense starburst activities, followed by primaril…
The Formation and Evolution of Massive Galaxies
Yingjie Jing, Yu Rong, Jie Wang +2
The discovery of massive galaxies at high redshifts, especially the passive ones, poses a big challenge for the current standard galaxy formation models. Here we use the semi-analy…
The Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VCC 848 Formed by Dwarf-Dwarf Merging: HI Gas, Star Formation and Numerical Simulations
Hong-Xin Zhang, Rory Smith, Se-Heon Oh +12
A clear link between a dwarf-dwarf merger event and enhanced star formation (SF) in the recent past was recently identified in the gas-dominated merger remnant VCC 848, offering by…
Lessons on Star-forming Ultra-diffuse Galaxies from The Stacked Spectra of Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Yu Rong, Kai Zhu, Evelyn J. Johnston +4
We investigate the on-average properties for 28 star-forming ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) located in low-density environments, by stacking their spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky…
Exploring the origin of ultra-diffuse galaxies in clusters from their primordial alignment
Yu Rong, Pavel E. Mancera Piña, Elmo Tempel +2
We find that the minor axes of the ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in Abell 2634 tend to be aligned with the major axis of the central dominant galaxy, at a confidence…
The Next Generation Fornax Survey (NGFS): VII. A MUSE view of the nuclear star clusters in Fornax dwarf galaxies
Evelyn J. Johnston, Thomas H. Puzia, Giuseppe D'Ago +16
Clues to the formation and evolution of Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) lie in their stellar populations. However, these structures are often very faint compared to their host galaxy,…
The Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VCC848 Formed by Dwarf-Dwarf Merging
Hong-Xin Zhang, Sanjaya Paudel, Rory Smith +8
It has long been speculated that many starburst or compact dwarf galaxies are resulted from dwarf-dwarf galaxy merging, but unequivocal evidence for this possibility has rarely bee…
The Next Generation Fornax Survey (NGFS): VI. The Alignment of Dwarf Galaxies in The Fornax Cluster
Yu Rong, Thomas H. Puzia, Paul Eigenthaler +16
Using the photometric data from the Next Generation Fornax Survey, we find a significant radial alignment signal among the Fornax dwarf galaxies. For the first time, we report that…
Intrinsic Morphology of Ultra-diffuse Galaxies
Yu Rong, Xiao-Yu Dong, Thomas H. Puzia +10
With the published data of apparent axis ratios for 1109 ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) located in 17 low-redshift (z~ 0.020 - 0.063) galaxy clusters and 84 UDGs in 2 intermediate-r…
The Next Generation Fornax Survey (NGFS): V. Discovery of a dwarf-dwarf galaxy pair at z=0.30 and its characterization using deep VLT/MUSE observations
Evelyn J. Johnston, Paul Eigenthaler, Thomas Puzia +11
We report the detection of a pair of dwarf galaxies at which may be in the early stages of an interaction. Both galaxies have stellar masses of , and d…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Inside-out vs. outside-in quenching in different local environments
Lihwai Lin, Bau-Ching Hsieh, Hsi-An Pan +13
The large Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) surveys have allowed the classification of ionizing sources of emission lines on sub-kpc scales. In this work, we define two non-paramet…
The Dawn Light of Blueberry Galaxies: Spectroscopic and Photometric Studies of two Starburst Dwarf Galaxies
Yu Rong, Huan Yang, Hong-xin Zhang +8
A population of so-called "blueberry" starbursting dwarf galaxies with extremely blue colors, low-metallicities, and enormous ionization ratios, has recently been found by Yang et…
