Connection between galaxy morphology and dark-matter halo structure II: predicting disk structure from dark-matter halo properties
Jinning Liang, Fangzhou Jiang, Houjun Mo +4
We investigate how galactic disk structures connect to the detailed properties of their host dark-matter halos using the TNG50 simulation. From the hydrodynamic and matched dark-ma…
Simulating AGN wind feedback with variable feedback efficiencies in idealised disc galaxies
Jinning Liang, Cedric G. Lacey, Filip Huško +2
Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) feedback plays a critical role in galaxy formation and evolution. AGN-driven winds can significantly influence their host galaxies, although the detai…
Disturbed cold gas in galaxy and structure formation
Siwei Zou, Robert A. Simcoe, Patrick Petitjean +18
Cold and cool gas (T K) in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and its interaction with galaxies remain poorly understood. Simulations predict that cold gas flows into gala…
Connection between galaxy morphology and dark-matter halo structure I: a running threshold for thin discs and size predictors from the dark sector
Jinning Liang, Fangzhou Jiang, Houjun Mo +5
We study the connection between galaxy morphology and host dark matter (DM) halo structure using cosmological simulations. Introducing a new kinematic decomposition scheme, we robu…
Formation and Environmental Context of Giant Bulgeless Disk Galaxies in the Early Universe: Insights from Cosmological Simulations
Fangzhou Jiang, Jinning Liang, Bingcheng Jin +7
Giant bulgeless disk galaxies, theoretically expected to be rare in the early Universe, have been confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to exist as early as 2 billion…
