From larger-scale cold-gas angular-momentum environment to galaxy star-formation activeness

Sen Wang, Dandan Xu, Shengdong Lu

We study the influence of the ambient large-scale cold-gas vorticity on the specific star formation rate (sSFR) of central galaxies with stellar masses of $10.0<\log\,M_{\ast}/\mat…

Disparate Effects of Circumgalactic Medium Angular Momentum in IllustrisTNG and SIMBA

Kexin Liu, Hong Guo, Sen Wang +4

In this study, we examine the role of circumgalactic medium (CGM) angular momentum () on star formation in galaxies, whose influence is currently not well understood.…

Kinematical coherence between satellite galaxies and host stellar discs for MaNGA & SAMI galaxies

Sen Wang, Dandan Xu, Shengdong Lu +1

The effect of angular momentum on galaxy formation and evolution has been studied for several decades. Our recent two papers using IllustrisTNG-100 simulation have revealed the acq…

Revealing the Gas Recycling in the Circumgalactic Medium (CGM) Utilizing a Luminous Ly Nebula Around a Type-II Quasar at z=2.6 with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI)

Shiwu Zhang, Zheng Cai, Dandan Xu +7

How galaxies acquire material from the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is a key question in galaxy evolution. Recent observations and simulations show that gas recycling could be an im…

Inspiraling streams of enriched gas observed around a massive galaxy 11 billion years ago

Shiwu Zhang, Zheng Cai, Dandan Xu +19

Stars form in galaxies, from gas that has been accreted from the intergalactic medium. Simulations have shown that recycling of gas-the reaccretion of gas that was previously eject…

From large-scale environment to CGM angular momentum to star forming activities -- I: star-forming galaxies

Sen Wang, Dandan Xu, Shengdong Lu +5

The connection between halo gas acquisition through the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and galaxy star formation has long been studied. In this series of two papers, we put this inter…

From large-scale environment to CGM angular momentum to star forming activities -- II: quenched galaxies

Shengdong Lu, Dandan Xu, Sen Wang +7

The gas needed to sustain star formation in galaxies is supplied by the circumgalactic medium (CGM), which in turn is affected by accretion from large scales. In a series of two pa…

Quenched, bulge-dominated, but dynamically cold galaxies in IllustrisTNG and their real-world counterparts

Shengdong Lu, Dandan Xu, Sen Wang +5

Galaxy morphologies, kinematics, and stellar populations are thought to be linked to each other. However, both simulations and observations have pointed out mismatches therein. In…
