The Diverse Morphology, Stellar Population, and Black Hole Scaling Relations of the Host Galaxies of Nearby Quasars

Yulin Zhao, Luis C. Ho, Jinyi Shangguan +3

We present rest-frame and imaging of 35 low-redshift () Palomar-Green quasars using the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3. We perform multi-component two-…

Barred Galaxies in the IllustrisTNG Simulation

Dongyao Zhao, Min Du, Luis C. Ho +2

Almost two-thirds of disk galaxies in the local universe host bars, which serve as important drivers of secular evolutionary processes. While cosmological simulations are powerful…

Orbital distribution of infalling satellite halos across cosmic time

Zhao-Zhou Li, Dong-Hai Zhao, Y. P. Jing +2

The initial orbits of infalling subhalos largely determine the subsequent evolution of the subhalos and satellite galaxies therein and shed light on the assembly of their hosts. Us…

Kinematic decomposition of IllustrisTNG disk galaxies: morphology and relation with morphological structures

Min Du, Luis C. Ho, Victor P. Debattista +4

We recently developed an automated method, auto-GMM to decompose simulated galaxies. It extracts kinematic structures in an accurate, efficient, and unsupervised way. We use auto-G…

A New Channel of Bulge Formation via The Destruction of Short Bars

Minghao Guo, Min Du, Luis C. Ho +2

Short (inner) bars of sub-kiloparsec radius have been hypothesized to be an important mechanism for driving gas inflows to small scales, thus feeding central black holes. Recent nu…

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…
