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…
