Analysis of the plane of satellites around Milky Way- mass galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulation
Xinghai Zhao, Guobao Tang, Paola Gonzalez +2
It has been suggested that the Plane of Satellites (PoS) phenomenon may imply a tension with current CDM cosmology since a Milky Way (MW)-like PoS is very rare in simulations. I…
A Study of the Properties and Dynamics of the Disk of Satellites in a Milky-Way-like Galaxy System
Xinghai Zhao, Grant J. Mathews, Lara Arielle Phillips +1
The dynamics of the satellite systems of Milky-Way-like galaxies offer a useful means by which to study the galaxy formation process in the cosmological context. It has been sugges…
The Effects of Local Primordial Non-Gaussianity on the Formation and Evolution of Galaxies
Xinghai Zhao, Yuexing Li, Sarah Shandera +1
Thanks to the rapid progress in precision cosmology in the last few years, we now have access to physical observables that may constrain the theory of inflation through the non-Gau…
The Co-evolution of Cosmic Entropy and Structures in the Universe
Xinghai Zhao, Yuexing Li, Qirong Zhu +1
According to the second law of thermodynamics, the arrow of time points to an ever increasing entropy of the Universe. However, exactly how the entropy evolves with time and what d…
Effects of structure formation on the expansion rate of the Universe: An estimate from numerical simulations
Xinghai Zhao, Grant J. Mathews
General relativistic corrections to the expansion rate of the Universe arise when the Einstein equations are averaged over a spatial volume in a locally inhomogeneous cosmology. It…
