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…

findAbar: how astronomers may perceive the bar in galaxies differently

Elizabeth J. Iles, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Courtney Crawford +18

Bars are ubiquitous morphological features in the observed distribution of galaxies. There are similarly many methods for classifying these features and, without a strict theoretic…

The GECKOS survey: Jeans anisotropic models of edge-on discs uncover the impact of dust and kinematic structures

T. H. Rutherford, A. Fraser-McKelvie, E. Emsellem +17

The central regions of disc galaxies host a rich variety of stellar structures: nuclear discs, bars, bulges, and boxy-peanut (BP) bulges. These components are often difficult to di…

The GECKOS Survey: Identifying kinematic sub-structures in edge-on galaxies

A. Fraser-McKelvie, J. van de Sande, D. A. Gadotti +30

The vertical evolution of galactic discs is governed by the sub-structures within them. We examine the diversity of kinematic sub-structure present in the first 12 galaxies observe…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: galaxy spin is more strongly correlated with stellar population age than mass or environment

S. M. Croom, J. van de Sande, S. P. Vaughan +17

We use the SAMI Galaxy Survey to examine the drivers of galaxy spin, , in a multi-dimensional parameter space including stellar mass, stellar population age (or specific s…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Using Tidal Streams and Shells to Trace the Dynamical Evolution of Massive Galaxies

Tomas H. Rutherford, Jesse van de Sande, Scott M. Croom +14

Slow rotator galaxies are distinct amongst galaxy populations, with simulations suggesting that a mix of minor and major mergers are responsible for their formation. A promising pa…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Detection of Environmental Dependence of Galaxy Spin in Observations and Simulations Using Marked Correlation Functions

Tomas H. Rutherford, Scott M. Croom, Jesse van de Sande +6

The existence of a kinematic morphology-density relation remains uncertain, and instead stellar mass appears the more dominant driver of galaxy kinematics. We investigate the depen…
