Inferring the Morphology of Stellar Distribution in TNG50: Twisted and Twisted-Stretched shapes

Razieh Emami, Lars Hernquist, Charles Alcock +9

We investigate the morphology of the stellar distribution in a sample of Milky Way (MW) like galaxies in the TNG50 simulation. Using a local in shell iterative method (LSIM) as the…

How merger-driven gas motions in galaxy clusters can turn AGN bubbles into radio relics

John A. ZuHone, Maxim Markevitch, Rainer Weinberger +2

Radio relics in galaxy clusters are extended synchrotron sources produced by cosmic-ray electrons in the G magnetic field. Many relics are found in the cluster periphery and hav…

DM halo morphological types of MW-like galaxies in the TNG50 simulation: Simple, Twisted, or Stretched

Razieh Emami, Shy Genel, Lars Hernquist +8

We present a comprehensive analysis of the shape of dark matter (DM) halos in a sample of 25 Milky Way-like galaxies in TNG50 simulation. Using an Enclosed Volume Iterative Method…

Submillimetre galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations -- an opportunity for constraining feedback models

Christopher C. Hayward, Martin Sparre, Scott C. Chapman +8

Submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) have long posed a challenge for theorists, and self-consistently reproducing the properties of the SMG population in a large-volume cosmological hydro…

Resolving small-scale cold circumgalactic gas in TNG50

Dylan Nelson, Prateek Sharma, Annalisa Pillepich +6

We use the high-resolution TNG50 cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulation to explore the properties and origin of cold circumgalactic medium (CGM) gas around massive galaxies…

Ejective and preventative: the IllustrisTNG black hole feedback and its effects on the thermodynamics of the gas within and around galaxies

Elad Zinger, Annalisa Pillepich, Dylan Nelson +6

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) which reside at the centres of galaxies can inject vast amounts of energy into the surrounding gas and are thought to be a viable mechanism to quen…
