From Starburst to Quenching: Physical Properties of Extremely Compact Starbursts at z0.1
Can Xu, Mengyuan Xiao, Min Bao +5
The compaction phase plays a crucial role in galaxy evolution, as it is strongly linked to star formation activities and structural transformation. We have identified a sample of e…
Star formation powers optical line emission from the CGM
Huanian Zhang, Lizhi Xie, Zhijie Qu +9
Using integral field spectroscopy, we explore the disk-halo interface, or the inner circumgalactic medium (CGM), of individual galaxies by constructing and analyzing emission-line…
Direct Evidence for Outflow Driven by Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Nearby Galaxy PGC44685
Qian Huang, Zhengyi Chen, Min Bao +3
Wolf--Rayet (WR) stars are evolved massive stars which can drive strong stellar winds, injecting energy and momentum into the interstellar medium (ISM). However, the geometry and k…
Jet-ISM Interaction and Multi-channel AGN Feedback in the Post-merger Galaxy 4C+29.30
Xiao Cao, Junfeng Wang, Yan-Mei Chen +5
4C+29.30 is a post-merger galaxy hosting a rejuvenated active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a complex multi-scale radio morphology, making it an ideal laboratory to study the interpl…
Properties of Galaxies with Counter-rotating Stellar Disks in the MaNGA Survey
Min Bao, Zhenyu Tang, Yanmei Chen +2
Gas accretion process can fuel both star formation and black hole activity, playing a critical role in galaxy evolution. The counter-rotating structures are believed to originate f…
A high-significance detection of primordial tidal torque imprints
Ming-Jie Sheng, Hao-Ran Yu, Min Bao +9
Tidal-torque theory predicts that galaxy angular momenta are imprinted by the primordial tidal field acting on proto-structures and that they can retain information about the early…
