The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Linking Tidal Features and Orbit Populations Using Schwarzschild Modelling

T. H. Rutherford, J. van de Sande, S. M. Croom +11

The evolution of angular momentum in galaxies is shaped by a combination of internal secular processes and external mechanisms such as mergers. Orbit-superposition based dynamical…

Kinematic scaling of thin and thick discs from SAMI to NewHorizon

Sree Oh, J. K. Jang, Giulia Santucci +8

We revisit the relation between disc stellar mass and disc velocity dispersion (M_*-σ_e) and extend it to thin and thick subcomponents using orbit-based dynamical models of 161 SAM…

Orbital decomposition of the nuclear regions in the early-type galaxy FCC 47: Unveiling the nuclear cluster origin

Julia Lamprecht, Anja Feldmeier-Krause, Mariya Lyubenova +8

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are among the densest stellar systems in the Universe and often coexist with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at galaxy centres. While SMBH formation h…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: large-scale environment affects galaxy spin amplitudes and the formation of slow rotators

Stefania Barsanti, Scott M. Croom, Matthew Colless +9

We explore the impact of the large-scale 3D density field, as defined by deep, wide-field galaxy surveys, on stellar spin () and the distributions of fast and slow rot…

The MAGPI Survey: the kinematic morphology-density relation (or lack thereof) and the Hubble sequence at

Caroline Foster, Mark W. Donoghoe, Andrew Battisti +26

This work presents visual morphological and dynamical classifications for 637 spatially resolved galaxies, most of which are at intermediate redshift (), in the Middle-Ag…

The MAGPI Survey: Orbital distributions, intrinsic shapes, and mass profiles for MAGPI-like Eagle galaxies using Schwarzschild dynamical models

Giulia Santucci, Claudia Del P. Lagos, Katherine E. Harborne +16

Schwarzschild dynamical models are now regularly employed in large surveys of galaxies in the local and distant Universe to derive information on galaxies' intrinsic properties suc…

The MAGPI Survey: the evolution and drivers of gas turbulence in intermediate-redshift galaxies

Yifan Mai, Scott M. Croom, Emily Wisnioski +21

We measure the ionised gas velocity dispersions of star-forming galaxies in the MAGPI survey () and compare them with galaxies in the SAMI () and KROSS ($z\sim…

The MAGPI Survey: Evidence Against the Bulge-Halo Conspiracy

C. Derkenne, R. M. McDermid, G. Santucci +14

Studies of the internal mass structure of galaxies have observed a `conspiracy' between the dark matter and stellar components, with total (stars dark) density profiles showing…

The MAGPI Survey: Massive slow rotator population in place by

Caro Derkenne, Richard M. McDermid, Francesco D'Eugenio +20

We use the `Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral field spectroscopy' (MAGPI) survey to investigate whether galaxies have evolved in the distribution of their stellar angular…

The MAGPI Survey: Drivers of kinematic asymmetries in the ionised gas of star-forming galaxies

R. S. Bagge, C. Foster, A. Battisti +17

Galaxy gas kinematics are sensitive to the physical processes that contribute to a galaxy's evolution. It is expected that external processes will cause more significant kinematic…

The MAGPI Survey: Effects of Spiral Arms on Different Tracers of the Interstellar Medium and Stellar Populations at z~0.3

Qian-Hui Chen, Kathryn Grasha, Andrew J. Battisti +17

Spiral structures are important drivers of the secular evolution of disc galaxies, however, the origin of spiral arms and their effects on the development of galaxies remain myster…

The distribution of stellar orbits in Eagle galaxies -- the effect of mergers, gas accretion, and secular evolution

Giulia Santucci, Claudia Del P. Lagos, Katherine E. Harborne +9

The merger history of a galaxy is thought to be one of the major factors determining its internal dynamics, with galaxies having undergone different types or mergers (e.g. dry, min…

SimSpin v2.6.0 -- Constructing synthetic spectral IFU cubes for comparison with observational surveys

K. E. Harborne, A. Serene, E. J. A. Davies +10

In this work, we present a methodology and a corresponding code-base for constructing mock integral field spectrograph (IFS) observations of simulated galaxies in a consistent and…

Dynamical modelling of ATLAS galaxies

Sabine Thater, Prashin Jethwa, Edward J. Lilley +3

Triaxial dynamical models of massive galaxies observed in the ATLAS3D project can provide new insights into the complex evolutionary processes that shape galaxies. The ATLAS3D surv…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Environmental analysis of the orbital structures of passive galaxies

Giulia Santucci, Sarah Brough, Jesse van de Sande +11

Most dynamical models of galaxies to date assume axisymmetry, which is not representative of a significant fraction of massive galaxies. We have built triaxial orbit-superposition…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Using concentrated star-formation and stellar population ages to understand environmental quenching

Di Wang, Scott M. Croom, Julia J. Bryant +16

We study environmental quenching using the spatial distribution of current star-formation and stellar population ages with the full SAMI Galaxy Survey. By using a star-formation co…
