IllustrisTNG in the HSC-SSP: No Shortage of Thin Disk Galaxies in TNG50

Dewang Xu, Hua Gao, Connor Bottrell +2

We perform a thorough analysis of the projected shapes of nearby galaxies in both observations and cosmological simulations. We implement a forward-modeling approach to overcome th…

IllustrisTNG in the HSC-SSP: image data release and the major role of mini mergers as drivers of asymmetry and star formation

Connor Bottrell, Hassen M. Yesuf, Gergö Popping +13

At fixed galaxy stellar mass, there is a clear observational connection between structural asymmetry and offset from the star forming main sequence, SFMS. Herein, we use the TNG…

The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole

Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63

A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…

Relative intrinsic scatter in hierarchical Type Ia supernova siblings analyses: Application to SNe 2021hpr, 1997bq & 2008fv in NGC 3147

Sam M. Ward, Stephen Thorp, Kaisey S. Mandel +22

We present Young Supernova Experiment photometry of SN 2021hpr, the third Type Ia supernova sibling to explode in the Cepheid calibrator galaxy, NGC 3147. Siblings are usef…

The Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey. X. Bulges in Stellar Mass-based Scaling Relations

Hua Gao, Luis C. Ho, Zhao-Yu Li

We measure optical colors for the bulges of 312 disk galaxies from the Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey and convert their previously available -band structural parameters to stella…

The Diverse Morphology, Stellar Population, and Black Hole Scaling Relations of the Host Galaxies of Nearby Quasars

Yulin Zhao, Luis C. Ho, Jinyi Shangguan +3

We present rest-frame and imaging of 35 low-redshift () Palomar-Green quasars using the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3. We perform multi-component two-…

The Correlation between Black Hole Mass and Stellar Mass for Classical Bulges and the Cores of Ellipticals

Peixin Zhu, Luis C. Ho, Hua Gao

The correlation between black hole mass and the stellar mass of the bulge of the host galaxy has attracted much attention ever since its discovery. While traditional investigations…

Suppressed or enhanced central star formation rates in late-type barred galaxies

Jing Wang, E. Athanassoula, Si-Yue Yu +4

Bars in disc-dominated galaxies are able to drive gas inflow inside the corotation radius, thus enhancing the central star formation rate (SFR). Previous work, however, has found t…

Validation of LAMOST Stellar Parameters with the PASTEL Catalog

Hua Gao, Huawei Zhang, Maosheng Xiang +8

Recently the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) published its first data release (DR1), which is ranked as the largest stellar spectra dataset in th…
