Fountain pattern of baryon cycle revealed in galaxy ecosystems

Chengyu Ma, Yangyao Chen, Enci Wang +11

Baryons in galaxy ecosystems are believed to undergo continuous cycles of inflow and outflow, forming fountain-like patterns that encode key information about how galaxies acquire…

Gal3D: Superellipsoid Modeling of Radial 3D Galaxy Structure in IllustrisTNG and EAGLE Simulations

Shuai Lu, Min Du

Galaxy morphology and structure are key tracers of galaxy formation and evolution, making accurate measurements of intrinsic three-dimensional (3D) shape essential for linking morp…

The disrupted chemical enrichment history of the Milky Way driven by gas accretion

Jianhui Lian, Qinhao Shao, Min Du +4

As the only galaxy enabling temporally-resolved observations from an internal vantage point, the Milky Way as a galaxy offers unique insights into galactic chemical enrichment hist…

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…

IllustrisTNG Insights: Factors Affecting the Presence of Bars in Disk Galaxies

Shuai Lu, Min Du, P. Victor Debattista

Bars are important in the secular evolution of galaxies. This study is aimed at exploring the reasons why some galaxies have bars at redshift while others do not. We use elli…

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…

FAST-ASKAP Synergy: Quantifying Coexistent Tidal and Ram Pressure Strippings in the NGC 4636 Group

Xuchen Lin, Jing Wang, Virginia Kilborn +27

Combining new HI data from a synergetic survey of ASKAP WALLABY and FAST with the ALFALFA data, we study the effect of ram pressure and tidal interactions in the NGC 4636 group. We…
