Evidence for the transformation from lenticular to spiral galaxies

Mengkui Zhou, Huiyuan Wang, Ran Li +8

It is widely accepted that late-type galaxies, such as spirals, evolve into early-type systems, including elliptical and lenticular galaxies, through galaxy mergers and violent dis…

Satellite quenching by radio jets of central galaxies in galaxy groups

Yijun Wang, Tao Wang, Dingyi Zhao +9

Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is now recognized as a key component of galaxy formation models. It plays a central role in regulating the growth and quenching of galaxi…

Radio AGN feedback sustains quiescence only in a minority of massive galaxies

Huiling Liu, Yan Lu, Hui Hong +11

Radio active galactic nuclei (AGNs) eject a huge amount of energy into the surrounding medium and are thought to potentially prevent gas cooling and maintain the quiescence of mass…

Unexpected clustering pattern in dwarf galaxies challenges formation models

Ziwen Zhang, Yangyao Chen, Yu Rong +4

The galaxy correlation function serves as a fundamental tool for studying cosmology, galaxy formation, and the nature of dark matter. It is well established that more massive, redd…

UNIONS: a direct measurement of intrinsic alignment with BOSS/eBOSS spectroscopy

Fabian Hervas Peters, Martin Kilbinger, Romain Paviot +12

During their formation, galaxies are subject to tidal forces, which create correlations between their shapes and the large-scale structure of the Universe, known as intrinsic align…

Measuring Mass of Gas in Central Galaxies using weak lensing and satellite kinematics in MOND

Li Ma, Ziwen Zhang, Huiyuan Wang +1

In Milgrom's modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) framework, the dynamical mass of a galaxy is fully determined by its baryonic matter distribution. We fit the distribution of cold a…

Point-Spread Function errors for weak lensing - density cross-correlations. Application to UNIONS

Ziwen Zhang, Martin Kilbinger, Fabian Hervas Peters +8

Aims:Calibrating the point spread function (PSF) is a fundamental part of weak gravitational lensing analyses. Even with corrected galaxy images, imperfect calibrations can introdu…

Black-Hole-to-Halo Mass Relation From UNIONS Weak Lensing

Qinxun Li, Martin Kilbinger, Wentao Luo +17

This letter presents, for the first time, direct constraints on the black-hole-to-halo-mass relation using weak gravitational lensing measurements. We construct type I and type II…

Halo mass-observable proxy scaling relations and their dependencies on galaxy and group properties

Ziwen Zhang, Huiyuan Wang, Wentao Luo +5

Based on the DECaLS shear catalog, we study the scaling relations between halo mass() and various proxies for SDSS central galaxies, including stellar mass(), stell…

Dynamical hotness, star formation quenching and growth of supermassive black holes

Hui Hong, Huiyuan Wang, H. J. Mo +8

A stellar system is dynamically hot when its kinetic energy is dominated by random motion represented by the velocity dispersion . We use MaNGA data to obtain in…

Massive Star-Forming Galaxies Have Converted Most of Their Halo Gas into Stars

Ziwen Zhang, Huiyuan Wang, Wentao Luo +5

In the local Universe, the efficiency for converting baryonic gas into stars is very low. In dark matter halos where galaxies form and evolve, the average efficiency varies with ga…

Hosts and triggers of AGNs in the Local Universe

Ziwen Zhang, Huiyuan Wang, Wentao Luo +11

Based on the spectroscopic and shear catalogs for SDSS galaxies in the local Universe, we compare optically-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with control star-forming and qui…
