Galaxy stellar and total mass estimation using machine learning

J Chu, H Tang, D Xu, S Lu… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Conventional galaxy mass estimation methods suffer from model assumptions and
degeneracies. Machine learning (ML), which reduces the reliance on such assumptions, can …

Barred galaxies in the IllustrisTNG Simulation

D Zhao, M Du, LC Ho, VP Debattista… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
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 tools …

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: a statistical approach to an optimal classification of stellar kinematics in galaxy surveys

J Van De Sande, SP Vaughan, L Cortese… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Large galaxy samples from multiobject integral field spectroscopic (IFS) surveys now allow

Quantifying the stellar ages of dynamically separated bulges and disks of CALIFA spiral galaxies

Y Jin, L Zhu, S Zibetti, L Costantin… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
We employ a recently developed population-orbit superposition technique to simultaneously
fit the stellar kinematic and age maps of 82 CALIFA spiral galaxies and obtain the ages of …

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

M Du, LC Ho, VP Debattista, A Pillepich… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We recently developed an automated method, auto-GMM, to decompose simulated
galaxies. It extracts kinematic structures in an accurate, efficient, and unsupervised way. We …

Mass of the dynamically hot inner stellar halo predicts the ancient accreted stellar mass

L Zhu, A Pillepich, G van de Ven, R Leaman… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Galactic dynamical structures are fossil records of the assembly histories of galaxies. By
analyzing the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation TNG50, we find that a dynamical …

The two phases of core formation–orbital evolution in the centres of ellipticals with supermassive black hole binaries

M Frigo, T Naab, A Rantala… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The flat stellar density cores of massive elliptical galaxies form rapidly due to sinking
supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in gas-poor galaxy mergers. After the SMBHs form a …

Dynamical modelling of the twisted galaxy PGC 046832

M den Brok, D Krajnović, E Emsellem… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
We analyse VLT/MUSE observations of PGC 046832, the brightest cluster galaxy of Abell
3556. The velocity structure of this galaxy is startling and shows two reversals in sign along …

Correlations between black holes and host galaxies in the Illustris and IllustrisTNG Simulations

Y Li, M Habouzit, S Genel, R Somerville… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We study black hole–host galaxy correlations, and the relation between the
overmassiveness (the distance from the average M BH–σ relation) of supermassive black …

From large-scale environment to CGM angular momentum to star forming activities–II. Quenched galaxies

S Lu, D Xu, S Wang, Z Cai, C He, CK Xu… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
The gas needed to sustain star formation in galaxies is supplied by the circumgalactic
medium (CGM), which in turn is affected by accretion from large scales. In a series of two …
