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…
Unveiling a young thick disk in the Milky Way
Jianhui Lian, Min Du, Shuai Lu +5
The thickness of a galaxy's disk provides a valuable probe of its formation and evolution history. Observations of the Milky Way and local galaxies have revealed an ubiquitous disk…
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…
