The abundance, distribution, and physical nature of highly ionized oxygen OVI, OVII, and OVIII in IllustrisTNG

Dylan Nelson, Guinevere Kauffmann, Annalisa Pillepich +8

We explore the abundance, spatial distribution, and physical properties of the OVI, OVII, and OVIII ions of oxygen in circumgalactic and intergalactic media (the CGM, IGM, and WHIM…

Similar star formation rate and metallicity evolution timescales drive the fundamental metallicity relation

Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger, Lars Hernquist +10

The fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) is a postulated correlation between galaxy stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and gas-phase metallicity. At its core, this relation…

The evolution of the mass-metallicity relation in IllustrisTNG

Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger, Federico Marinacci +8

The coevolution of galaxies and their metal content serves as an important test for galaxy feedback models. We analyze the distribution and evolution of metals within the Illustris…

Supermassive black holes and their feedback effects in the IllustrisTNG simulation

Rainer Weinberger, Volker Springel, Rüdiger Pakmor +8

We study the population of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their effects on massive central galaxies in the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy form…

The Size Evolution of Star-forming and Quenched Galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulation

Shy Genel, Dylan Nelson, Annalisa Pillepich +8

We analyze scaling relations and evolution histories of galaxy sizes in TNG100, part of the IllustrisTNG simulation suite. Observational qualitative trends of size with stellar mas…

First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: the stellar mass content of groups and clusters of galaxies

Annalisa Pillepich, Dylan Nelson, Lars Hernquist +8

The IllustrisTNG project is a new suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation performed with the Arepo code and updated models for feedback physics…
