Early-type galaxy density profiles from IllustrisTNG: II. Evolutionary trend of the total density profile
Yunchong Wang, Mark Vogelsberger, Dandan Xu +8
We study the evolutionary trend of the total density profile of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in IllustrisTNG. To this end, we trace ETGs from to and measure the power-law…
Photometric and Kinematic Misalignments and Their Evolution Among Fast and Slow Rotators in the Illustris Simulation
Lisiyuan Yang, Dandan Xu, Shude Mao +2
We use the Illustris simulation to study the distributions of ellipticities and kinematic misalignments of galactic projections, as well as the intrinsic shapes and rotation of the…
A study of stellar orbit fractions: simulated IllustrisTNG galaxies compared to CALIFA observations
Dandan Xu, Ling Zhu, Robert Grand +16
Motivated by the recently discovered kinematic "Hubble sequence" shown by the stellar orbit-circularity distribution of 260 CALIFA galaxies, we make use of a comparable galaxy samp…
Evaluating the ability of triaxial Schwarzschild modelling to estimate properties of galaxies from the Illustris simulation
Yunpeng Jin, Ling Zhu, R. J. Long +4
We evaluate the capabilities of Schwarzschild's orbit-superposition method by applying it to galaxies from the large scale, high resolution Illustris simulation. Nine early-type ga…
