The alignment of galaxy spin with the shear field in observations
Isha Pahwa, Noam I. Libeskind, Elmo Tempel +6
Tidal torque theory suggests that galaxies gain angular momentum in the linear stage of structure formation. Such a theory predicts alignments between the spin of haloes and tidal…
Properties of Galaxies in the Disc Central Surface Brightness Gap
Jenny G. Sorce, Peter Creasey, Noam I. Libeskind
Intermediate surface brightness (ISB) galaxies are less numerous than their counterparts at high and low surface brightness (HSB and LSB). Investigating ISB characteristics from a…
Cosmicflows Constrained Local UniversE Simulations
Jenny G. Sorce, Stefan Gottloeber, Gustavo Yepes +6
This paper combines observational datasets and cosmological simulations to generate realistic numerical replicas of the nearby Universe. These latter are excellent laboratories for…
Minimization of Biases in Galaxy Peculiar Velocity Catalogs
Jenny G. Sorce
Galaxy distances and derived radial peculiar velocity catalogs constitute valuable datasets to study the dynamics of the Local Universe. However, such catalogs suffer from biases w…
Giant disk galaxies : Where environment trumps mass in galaxy evolution
H. M. Courtois, D. Zaritsky, J. G. Sorce +1
We identify some of the most HI massive and fastest rotating disk galaxies in the local universe with the aim of probing the processes that drive the formation of these extreme dis…
