Reorientation Rates of Structural and Kinematic Axes in Simulated Massive Galaxies and the Origins of Prolate Rotation

Sahil Hegde, Greg L. Bryan, Shy Genel

In this work, we analyze a sample of $\sim$4000 massive ($M_{\ast }\ge 10^{11}{M}_{\odot }$ at $z=0$) galaxies in TNG300, the $(300\mathrm{Mpc}{)}^3$ box of the IllustrisTNG simulation suite…
