IllustrisTNG in the HSC-SSP: image data release and the major role of mini mergers as drivers of asymmetry and star formation

Connor Bottrell, Hassen M. Yesuf, Gergö Popping +13

At fixed galaxy stellar mass, there is a clear observational connection between structural asymmetry and offset from the star forming main sequence, SFMS. Herein, we use the TNG…

Cold Gas in Massive Galaxies as A Critical Test of Black Hole Feedback Models

Jingjing Shi, Yingjie Peng, Benedikt Diemer +15

Black hole feedback has been widely implemented as the key recipe to quench star formation in massive galaxies in modern semi-analytic models and hydrodynamical simulations. As the…

A machine learning approach to infer the accreted stellar mass fractions of central galaxies in the TNG100 simulation

Rui Shi, Wenting Wang, Zhaozhou Li +5

We propose a random forest (RF) machine learning approach to determine the accreted stellar mass fractions () of central galaxies, based on various dark matter halo…

Mass and Environment as Drivers of Galaxy Evolution. IV. On the Quenching of Massive Central Disk Galaxies in The Local Universe

Chengpeng Zhang, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho +13

The phenomenological study of evolving galaxy populations has shown that star forming galaxies can be quenched by two distinct processes: mass quenching and environment quenching (…

The stellar mass in and around isolated central galaxies: connections to the total mass distribution through galaxy-galaxy lensing in the Hyper Suprime-Cam survey

Wenting Wang, Xiangchong Li, Jingjing Shi +7

Using photometric galaxies from the HSC survey, we measure the stellar mass density profiles for satellite galaxies as a function of the projected distance, , to isolated cent…

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…

A comparative study of satellite galaxies in Milky Way-like galaxies from HSC, DECaLS and SDSS

Wenting Wang, Masahiro Takada, Xiangchong Li +10

We conduct a comprehensive and statistical study of the luminosity functions (LFs) for satellite galaxies, by counting photometric galaxies from HSC, DECaLS and SDSS around isolate…

The Formation History of Subhalos and the Evolution of Satellite Galaxies

Jingjing Shi, Huiyuan Wang, Houjun Mo +6

Satellites constitute an important fraction of the overall galaxy population and are believed to form in dark matter subhalos. Here we use the cosmological hydrodynamic simulation…

X-shaped Radio Galaxies: Optical Properties, Large-scale Environment and Relationship to Radio Structure

Ravi Joshi, Gopal-Krishna, Xiaolong Yang +9

In order to find clues to the origin of the "winged" or "X-shaped" radio galaxies (XRGs) we investigate here the parent galaxies of a large sample of 106 XRGs for optical-radio axe…

Identifying kinematic structures in simulated galaxies using unsupervised machine learning

Min Du, Luis C. Ho, Dongyao Zhao +4

Galaxies host a wide array of internal stellar components, which need to be decomposed accurately in order to understand their formation and evolution. While significant progress h…

The Quest for Dusty Star-forming Galaxies at High Redshift z>4

C. Mancuso, A. Lapi, J. Shi +3

We exploit the continuity equation approach and the `main sequence' star-formation timescales to show that the observed high abundance of galaxies with stellar masses > a few 10^10…
