Lower central dark matter densities in nearby galaxies than predicted by simulations

Yu Lei, Ling Zhu, Meng Yang +9

Baryonic feedback in hydrodynamical simulations is typically invoked to alleviate the core--cusp problem in dwarf galaxies. Yet baryonic processes also induce adiabatic contraction…

Mock HUBS observations of hot gas with IllustrisTNG

Yu-Ning Zhang, Chengzhe Li, Dandan Xu +1

The lack of adequate X-ray observing capability is seriously impeding the progress in understanding the hot phase of circumgalactic medium (CGM), which is predicted to extend to th…

Quenched, bulge-dominated, but dynamically cold galaxies in IllustrisTNG and their real-world counterparts

Shengdong Lu, Dandan Xu, Sen Wang +5

Galaxy morphologies, kinematics, and stellar populations are thought to be linked to each other. However, both simulations and observations have pointed out mismatches therein. In…

Stellar Dynamical Modeling - Accuracy of 3D Density Estimation for Edge-on Axisymmetric Galaxies

Richard J. Long, Shengdong Lu, Dandan Xu

From Rybicki's analysis using the Fourier slice theorem, mathematically it is possible to reproduce uniquely an edge-on axisymmetric galaxy's 3D light distribution from its 2D surf…

Hot and counter-rotating star-forming disk galaxies in IllustrisTNG and their real-world counterparts

Shengdong Lu, Dandan Xu, Yunchong Wang +7

A key feature of a large population of low-mass, late-type disk galaxies are star-forming disks with exponential light distributions. They are typically also associated with thin a…

Disentangling the formation history of galaxies via population-orbit superposition: method validation

Ling Zhu, Glenn van de Ven, Ryan Leaman +9

We present population-orbit superposition models for external galaxies based on Schwarzschild's orbit-superposition method, by tagging the orbits with age and metallicity. The mode…
