Polar ring galaxies (PRGs) exhibit an extendedring of material oriented perpendicular to the main disk, which provide crucialclues for galaxy evolutionand dynamics, such as galaxy interaction and gas accretion. In the WALLABY Pilot Data Release 1, we found two potential polar ring galaxies: NGC 4632 and NGC 6156. We used the iDaVIE virtual reality software todecompose gas within the disk and ri...
Motivated by its applications to the interior dynamics of planets, the problem of thermal convection in rapidly rotating, self-gravitating fluid bodies has been widely modeled in spheres or spherical shells, which implicitly neglects the flattening effect due to the centrifugal force. However, recent Juno and Cassini missions have measured the gravitational fields of Jupiter and Saturn with ext...
Speaker: Yan LiangTitle: Lensing, Dynamics & Mass Distribution of the Early-Type GalaxyAbstract:The mass structure, as one of the most important properties of early-type galaxy, is associated with the galactic formation and evolution. Nowadays, the gravitational lensing at the galaxy scale and dynamics information of the galaxy have been widely used to constrain the galaxy mass structure. In th...
AGN feedback is a critical component in modern simulations of galaxy evolution. In dwarf galaxies, both observational and theoretical evidence of AGN feedback are accumulating, shedding new light on the evolution of dwarf galaxies. In massive galaxies, luminous quasars likely drive the most energetic outflows, making them the best laboratories to examine quasar feedback closely across cosmic ti...
Study of stellar objects embedded in AGN accretion disks around massive Black Holes have been motivated by i) the disk of stars that formed in-situ in the galactic center; ii) the redshift independence of metallicity in AGN disks, which also suggest in-situ pollution; iii) massive LIGO-Virgo gravitational wave sources that possibly evolved in a gas rich environment, and iv) quasi-periodic erupt...
