Synthetic JWST galaxy images in the TNG50 simulation - I. Model validation and comparison to observations
Alejandro Guzmán-Ortega, Gustavo Bruzual, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez +1
We use the TNG50 cosmological simulation and three-dimensional radiative transfer post-processing to generate dust-aware synthetic observations of galaxies at a…
Star Formation Rates, Metallicities, and Stellar Masses on kpc-scales in TNG50
Jia Qi, Alex M. Garcia, Davis Robinson +7
Integral field units (IFU) have extended our knowledge of galactic properties to kpc (or, sometimes, even smaller) patches of galaxies. These scales are where the physics driving g…
Photometric analysis of the intracluster light in the TNG300 simulation and wide-field observations
Daniel Montenegro-Taborda, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Vladimir Avila-Reese +5
We present a robust, apples-to-apples comparison between the photometric properties of the intracluster light (ICL) in the TNG300 magnetohydrodynamic cosmological simulation and th…
Does the Fundamental Metallicity Relation Evolve with Redshift? II: The Evolution in Normalisation of the Mass-Metallicity Relation
Alex M. Garcia, Paul Torrey, Sara L. Ellison +10
The metal content of galaxies is a direct probe of the baryon cycle. A hallmark example is the relationship between a galaxy's stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and gas-phas…
Formation of Galactic Disks II: the Physical Drivers of Disk Spin-up
Vadim A. Semenov, Charlie Conroy, Vedant Chandra +2
Using a representative sample of Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies from the TNG50 cosmological simulation, we investigate physical processes driving the formation of galactic disks. A d…
Does the Fundamental Metallicity Relation Evolve with Redshift? I: The Correlation Between Offsets from the Mass-Metallicity Relation and Star Formation Rate
Alex M. Garcia, Paul Torrey, Sara Ellison +8
The scatter about the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) has a correlation with the star formation rate (SFR) of galaxies. The lack of evidence of evolution in correlated scatter at $…
