How mergers shape galaxy morphology in the IllustrisTNG simulation

Guangquan Zeng, Lan Wang, Liang Gao

How galaxy mergers drive morphological evolution remains an open question. Traditional views hold that major mergers produce elliptical galaxies, while minor mergers form dispersio…

The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper

SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273

This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…

Comparing galaxy merger orbits in hydrodynamical simulation and in dark-matter-only simulation

Yahan Pu, Lan Wang, Guangquan Zeng +1

To investigate how the presence of baryons in simulations affects galaxy merger orbits, we compare in detail the merger timescales and orbits of the matched merger pairs in TNG100…

The effects of the orbital configurations of mergers on reshaping galaxy structures

Xinyi Wu, Ling Zhu, Jiang Chang +2

We performed a systematic analysis of how the orbital configuration of a merger can influence the structural formation of remnant galaxies using 531 merger pairs selected from Illu…

Category-based Galaxy Image Generation via Diffusion Models

Xingzhong Fan, Hongming Tang, Yue Zeng +2

Conventional galaxy generation methods rely on semi-analytical models and hydrodynamic simulations, which are highly dependent on physical assumptions and parameter tuning. In cont…

A Dual Active Black Hole Candidate with Mass Ratio ~7:1 in a Disk Galaxy

Xiao Cao, Yan-Mei Chen, Yong Shi +8

Dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with comparable masses are commonly witnessed among the major merged galaxies with interaction remnants. Considering almost every massive galaxy…

Apostle--Auriga: Effects of stellar feedback subgrid models on the evolution of angular momentum in disc galaxies

Hang Yang, Shihong Liao, Azadeh Fattahi +7

Utilizing the Apostle--Auriga simulations, which start from the same zoom-in initial conditions of Local Group-like systems but run with different galaxy formation subgrid models a…

Kinematic morphology of low-mass galaxies in IllustrisTNG

Guangquan Zeng, Lan Wang, Liang Gao +1

The origin of diverse kinematic morphologies observed in low-mass galaxies is unclear. In this study, we investigate the kinematic morphologies of central galaxies with stellar mas…

Resolved properties of classical bulge and pseudo-bulge galaxies

Jia Hu, Lan Wang, Junqiang Ge +2

We compare properties of classical and pseudo-bulges and properties of their hosting galaxies selected from the MaNGA survey. Bulge types are identified based on the S$\mathrm{\acu…
