Down-bending Breaks in Galactic Disks Are an Intrinsic Byproduct of Inside-out Growth
Liufei Chen, Min Du, Shuai Lu +2
The exponential profile has long been hypothesized as the fundamental morphology of galactic disks. The IllustrisTNG simulations reproduce diverse surface-density profiles: Type I…
Cold Gas Infall onto A Brightest Group Galaxy via A Gas-Rich Minor Merger
Ming-Yang Zhuang, Jinyi Shangguan, Yuan Bian +6
Dust and cold gas are not uncommon in nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs), and represent an important aspect of their evolution. However, their origin has been debated for decades. P…
Two Channels of Metal-Rich Compact Stellar System Formation: Starbursts under High Ram Pressure versus Tidal Stripping
Yuan Bian, Min Du, Victor P. Debattista +9
Most galaxies follow well-defined scaling relations of metallicity and stellar mass; however, some outliers at the low mass end of the observed galaxy population exhibit unusually…
The evolutionary pathways of disk galaxies with different sizes
Hong-Chuan Ma, Min Du, Luis C. Ho +2
From the IllustrisTNG-50 simulation, a sample of 836 central disk galaxies with tiny stellar halos is chosen to study the inherent evolution of galaxies driven by nature. These gal…
The Physical Origin of the Mass-Size Relation and Its Scatter of Disk Galaxies
Min Du, Hong-Chuan Ma, Wen-Yu Zhong +3
Utilizing a kinematic decomposition of simulated galaxies, we focus on galaxies with tiny kinematically inferred stellar halos, indicative of weak external influences. We investiga…
