ELUCID. IX. Recovering the Substructures and History of the Coma Cluster
Xiong Luo, Huiyuan Wang, Weiguang Cui +7
We employ constrained hydrodynamic simulations of the Coma galaxy cluster from the ELUCID project to study its substructures and assembly history. Our simulations accurately reprod…
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…
An emerging baryon cycle in a galaxy 500 million years after the Big Bang
Shengzhe Wang, Xin Wang, Hang Zhou +17
The emergence of stellar feedback as a regulator of galaxy growth marks a fundamental transition in cosmic history. At early times, rapid gas accretion and collapse may induce inte…
Probing Primordial Chirality in the Matter Distribution
Fang-Na Shao, Hao-Ran Yu, Ming-Jie Sheng +2
Whether parity symmetry was violated in the early universe remains one of the fundamental open questions in cosmology. If so, it may leave an intrinsic handedness in the large-scal…
A high-significance detection of primordial tidal torque imprints
Ming-Jie Sheng, Hao-Ran Yu, Min Bao +8
Tidal-torque theory predicts that galaxy angular momenta are imprinted by the primordial tidal field acting on proto-structures and that they can retain information about the early…
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…
A two-phase model of galaxy formation: IV. Seeding and growing supermassive black holes in dark matter halos
Yangyao Chen, Houjun Mo, Huiyuan Wang
We present a theoretical framework for seeding and growing supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in dark matter halos along their assembly histories. Seeds are bred out of Pop-III stars…
The Bigfoot: A footprint of a Coma cluster progenitor at z=3.98
Hanwen Sun, Tao Wang, Emanuele Daddi +13
Protoclusters, galaxy clusters' high redshift progenitors, hold the keys to understanding the formation and evolution of clusters and their member galaxies. However, their cosmolog…
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…
The large-scale structure supplies the formation of gas-star misaligned galaxies
Min Bao, Yanmei Chen, Qiusheng Gu +3
Using the integral field unit data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, we build a sample of gas-star misaligned galaxies. The large-scale e…
Physical Processes Behind the Co-Evolution of Halos, Galaxies and Supermassive Black Holes in the IllustrisTNG Simulation
Hao Li, Yangyao Chen, Huiyuan Wang +1
We explore the co-evolution of dark matter halos, their central galaxies, and central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) using the IllustrisTNG (TNG) simulation. We find that the evo…
A two-phase model of galaxy formation: III. The formation of globular clusters
Yangyao Chen, Houjun Mo, Huiyuan Wang
We develop a model of globular cluster (GC) formation within the cosmological hierarchy of structure formation. The model is rooted in the `two-phase' scenario of galaxy formation…
Gas-rich Ultra-diffuse Galaxies Are Originated from High Specific Angular Momentum
Yu Rong, Huijie Hu, Min He +5
Ultra-diffuse galaxies, characterized by comparable effective radii to the Milky Way but possessing 100-1,000 times fewer stars, offer a unique opportunity to garner novel insights…
ELUCID VIII: Simulating the Coma Galaxy Cluster to Calibrate Model and Understand Feedback
Xiong Luo, Huiyuan Wang, Weiguang Cui +9
We conducted an investigation of the Coma cluster of galaxies by running a series of constrained hydrodynamic simulations with GIZMO-SIMBA and GADGET-3, based on initial conditions…
A two-phase model of galaxy formation: II. The size-mass relation of dynamically hot galaxies
Yangyao Chen, Houjun Mo, Huiyuan Wang
In Paper-I we developed a two-phase model to connect dynamically hot galaxies (such as ellipticals and bulges) with the formation of self-gravitating gas clouds (SGCs) associated w…
A two-phase model of galaxy formation: I. The growth of galaxies and supermassive black holes
Houjun Mo, Yangyao Chen, Huiyuan Wang
We develop a model for galaxy formation and the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), based on the fact that cold dark matter (CDM) halos form their gravitational potential w…
Characterizing the assembly of dark matter halos with protohalo size histories: I. Redshift evolution, relation to descendant halos, and halo assembly bias
Kai Wang, H. J. Mo, Yangyao Chen +5
We propose a novel method to quantify the assembly histories of dark matter halos with the redshift evolution of the mass-weighted spatial variance of their progenitor halos, i.e.…
