Puzzling Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy Evolution (PUDGE). II. A transformation pathway from UDGs to compact dwarfs (CDs) in galaxy clusters
NataÅ¡a Pavlov, Ana MitraÅ¡inoviÄ
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) and compact dwarfs (CDs) occupy opposite extremes of the structural parameter space of dwarf galaxies, yet their spatial distributions in clusters sug…
The habitability trade-off: Chemical decoupling and quenching in massive galaxies
Ana MitraÅ¡inoviÄ, NataÅ¡a Pavlov, Branislav VukotiÄ +1
Massive galaxies experience complex evolutionary processes, including mergers and gas accretion, which can disrupt the chemical equilibrium between their stellar and gaseous compon…
Living on the edge. A quantitative warning on boundary artifacts in the IllustrisTNG
Ana MitraÅ¡inoviÄ
Periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) are a practical necessity in cosmological simulations, but they can also introduce numerical artifacts. We quantified the prevalence of PBC-rela…
Puzzling Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy Evolution (PUDGE). I. The existence of a Nube-like galaxy in IllustrisTNG
NataÅ¡a Pavlov, Ana MitraÅ¡inoviÄ
The recent discovery of the most extended ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG), Nube, has raised yet another question about the validity of the cold dark matter (CDM) model. The studies usin…
