How mergers shape galaxy morphology in the IllustrisTNG simulation
Guangquan Zeng, Lan Wang, Liang Gao
How galaxy mergers drive morphological evolution remains an open question. Traditional views hold that major mergers produce elliptical galaxies, while minor mergers form dispersio…
The impact of cosmic filaments on the abundance of satellite galaxies
Yuxi Meng, Haonan Zheng, Shihong Liao +9
The impact of cosmic web environments on galaxy properties plays a critical role in understanding galaxy formation. Using the state-of-the-art cosmological simulation IllustrisTNG,…
Assembly History and Internal Structure of Cluster Cold Dark Matter Haloes
Qingxiang Chen, Shihong Liao, Jie Wang +1
We use the Phoenix simulations to study the mass assembly history and internal structures of cluster dark matter haloes (). We…
Apostle--Auriga: Effects of stellar feedback subgrid models on the evolution of angular momentum in disc galaxies
Hang Yang, Shihong Liao, Azadeh Fattahi +7
Utilizing the Apostle--Auriga simulations, which start from the same zoom-in initial conditions of Local Group-like systems but run with different galaxy formation subgrid models a…
Kinematic morphology of low-mass galaxies in IllustrisTNG
Guangquan Zeng, Lan Wang, Liang Gao +1
The origin of diverse kinematic morphologies observed in low-mass galaxies is unclear. In this study, we investigate the kinematic morphologies of central galaxies with stellar mas…
Simulating emission line galaxies for the next generation of large-scale structure surveys
Wenxiang Pei, Qi Guo, Ming Li +8
We investigate emission line galaxies across cosmic time by combining the modified L-Galaxies semi-analytical galaxy formation model with the JiuTian cosmological simulation. We im…
