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…
First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: A tale of two elements -- chemical evolution of magnesium and europium
Jill P. Naiman, Annalisa Pillepich, Volker Springel +9
The distribution of elements in galaxies provides a wealth of information about their production sites and their subsequent mixing into the interstellar medium. Here we investigate…
First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: matter and galaxy clustering
Volker Springel, Rüdiger Pakmor, Annalisa Pillepich +8
Hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation have now reached sufficient volume to make precision predictions for clustering on cosmologically relevant scales. Here we use our ne…
First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: the galaxy color bimodality
Dylan Nelson, Annalisa Pillepich, Volker Springel +9
We introduce the first two simulations of the IllustrisTNG project, a next generation of cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations, focusing on the optical colors of galaxies.…
The Impact of Galactic Winds on the Angular Momentum of Disk Galaxies in the Illustris Simulation
Daniel DeFelippis, Shy Genel, Greg Bryan +1
Observed galactic disks have specific angular momenta similar to expectations for typical dark matter halos in CDM. Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations have recently reprodu…
The Origin and Evolution of Fast and Slow Rotators in the Illustris Simulation
Zephyr Penoyre, Benjamin P. Moster, Debora Sijacki +1
Using the Illustris simulation, we follow thousands of elliptical galaxies back in time to identify how the dichotomy between fast and slow rotating ellipticals (FRs and SRs) devel…
Strongly baryon-dominated disk galaxies at the peak of galaxy formation ten billion years ago
R. Genzel, N. M. Förster Schreiber, H. Übler +28
In cold dark matter cosmology, the baryonic components of galaxies are thought to be mixed with and embedded in non-baryonic and non-relativistic dark matter, which dominates the t…
Simulating Galaxy Formation with the IllustrisTNG Model
Annalisa Pillepich, Volker Springel, Dylan Nelson +8
We introduce an updated physical model to simulate the formation and evolution of galaxies in cosmological, large-scale gravity+magnetohydrodynamical simulations with the moving me…
