The Formation of Star-forming Disks in the TNG50 Simulation
Enci Wang, Simon J. Lilly
We investigate the disk formation process in the TNG50 simulation, examining the profiles of SFR surface density (), gas inflow and outflow, and the evolution of the a…
Searching for Spectroscopic Signatures of Ongoing Quenching in SDSS Galaxies
Andrea D. Weibel, Enci Wang, Simon J. Lilly
In this paper we estimate the "star formation change parameter", SFR, which characterizes the current SFR relative to the average during the last 800 Myr, for 300'000…
The Similar Signatures of Coplanar Gas Inflow and Disk Warps in Galactic Gas Kinematic Maps
Enci Wang, Simon J. Lilly
Hydrodynamic simulations suggest that galactic gas disks form when coplanar gas spirals into the inner regions of the disk. We recently presented a simple "modified accretion disk"…
The Origin of Exponential Star-forming Disks
Enci Wang, Simon J. Lilly
The disk components of galaxies generally show an exponential profile extending over several scale lengths, both in mass and star-formation rate, but the physical origin is not wel…
The Gas-phase Metallicity Profiles of Star-forming Galaxies in the Modified Accretion Disk Framework
Enci Wang, Simon J. Lilly
Simulations indicate that the inflow of gas of star-forming galaxies is almost co-planar and co-rotating with the gas disk, and that the outflow of gas driven by stellar winds and/…
Hosts and triggers of AGNs in the Local Universe
Ziwen Zhang, Huiyuan Wang, Wentao Luo +11
Based on the spectroscopic and shear catalogs for SDSS galaxies in the local Universe, we compare optically-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with control star-forming and qui…
