We carry out a comparison study on the bar structure in the Illustris-1 and TNG100 simulations. At $z=0$, 8.9% of 1232 disc galaxies with stellar mass $>10^{10.5}M_{odot}$ in Illustris-1 are barred, while the numbers are 55% of 1269 in TNG100. The bar fraction as a function of stellar mass in TNG100 agrees well with the survey $S^4G$. The median redshift of bar formation are $sim 0.4-0.5$ and $sim 0.25$ in TNG100 and Illustris-1 respectively. Bar fraction generally increases with stellar mass and decreases with gas fraction in both simulations. Barred galaxy had higher gas fraction at high redshift tend to form bar later. When the bars were formed, the disc gas fractions were mostly lower than 0.4. The much higher bar fraction in TNG100 probably have benefit from much lower gas fraction in massive disc galaxies since $zsim3$, which may result from the combination of more effective stellar and AGN feedback. The latter may be the primary factor at $z<2$. Meanwhile, in both simulations, barred galaxies have higher star formation rate before bar formation, and stronger AGN feedback all the time than unbarred galaxies. The properties of dark matter halos hosting massive disc galaxies are similar between two simulations, and should have minor effect on the different bar frequency. For individual galaxies under similar halo environment cross two simulations, different baryonic physics can lead to striking discrepancy on morphology. The morphology of individual galaxies is subject to combined effects of environment and internal baryonic physics, and is often not predictable.

We study black hole - host galaxy correlations, and the relation between the over-massiveness (the distance from the average $M_{BH}-sigma$ relation) of super-massive black holes (SMBHs) and star formation histories of their host galaxies in the Illu
stris and TNG100 simulations. We find that both simulations are able to produce black hole scaling relations in general agreement with observations at $z=0$, but with noticeable discrepancies. Both simulations show an offset from the observations for the $M_{BH}-sigma$ relation, and the relation between $M_{BH}$ and the Sersic index. The relation between $M_{BH}$ and stellar mass $M_*$ is tighter than the observations, especially for TNG100. For massive galaxies in both simulations, the hosts of over-massive SMBHs (those above the mean $M_{BH}-sigma$ relation) tend to have larger Sersic indices and lower baryon conversion efficiency, suggesting a multidimensional link between SMBHs and properties of their hosts. In Illustris, the hosts of over-massive SMBHs have formed earlier and have lower present-day star formation rates, in qualitative agreement with the observations for massive galaxies with $sigma>100 rm km/s$. For low-mass galaxies, such a correlation still holds in Illustris but does not exist in the observed data. For TNG100, the correlation between SMBH over-massiveness and star formation history is much weaker. The hosts of over-massive SMBHs generally have consistently larger star formation rates throughout history. These galaxies have higher stellar mass as well, due to the strong $M_{BH}-M_*$ correlation. Our findings show that simulated SMBH scaling relations and correlations are sensitive to features in the modeling of SMBHs.
Dust lanes, nuclear rings, and nuclear spirals are typical gas structures in the inner region of barred galaxies. Their shapes and properties are linked to the physical parameters of the host galaxy. We use high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations
to study 2D gas flows in simple barred galaxy models. The nuclear rings formed in our simulations can be divided into two groups: one group is nearly round and the other is highly elongated. We find that roundish rings may not form when the bar pattern speed is too high or the bulge central density is too low. We also study the periodic orbits in our galaxy models, and find that the concept of inner Lindblad resonance (ILR) may be generalized by the extent of $x_2$ orbits. All roundish nuclear rings in our simulations settle in the range of $x_2$ orbits (or ILRs). However, knowing the resonances is insufficient to pin down the exact location of these nuclear rings. We suggest that the backbone of round nuclear rings is the $x_2$ orbital family, i.e. round nuclear rings are allowed only in the radial range of $x_2$ orbits. A round nuclear ring forms exactly at the radius where the residual angular momentum of infalling gas balances the centrifugal force, which can be described by a parameter $f_{rm ring}$ measured from the rotation curve. The gravitational torque on gas in high pattern speed models is larger, leading to a smaller ring size than in the low pattern speed models. Our result may have important implications for using nuclear rings to measure the parameters of real barred galaxies with 2D gas kinematics.
In this work we analyse the structural and photometric properties of 21 barred simulated galaxies from the Auriga Project. These consist of Milky Way-mass magneto-hydrodynamical simulations in a $Lambda$CDM cosmological context. In order to compare w
ith observations, we generate synthetic SDSS-like broad-band images from the numerical data at z = 0 with different inclinations (from face-on to edge-on). Ellipse fits are used to determine the bar lengths, and 2D bulge/disc/bar decompositions with galfit are also performed, modelling the bar component with the modified Ferrer profile. We find a wide range of bar sizes and luminosities in the sample, and their structural parameters are in good agreement with the observations. All bulges present low Sersic indexes, and are classified as pseudobulges. In regard to the discs, the same breaks in the surface brightness profiles observed in real galaxies are found, and the radii at which these take place are in agreement with the observations. Also, from edge-on unsharp-masked images at z = 0, boxy or peanut-shaped (B/P) structures are clearly identified in the inner part of 4 bars, and also 2 more bars are found in buckling phase. The sizes of the B/P match fairly well with those obtained from observations. We thus conclude that the observed photometric and structural properties of galaxies with bars, which are the main drivers of secular evolution, can be developed in present state-of-the-art $Lambda$CDM cosmological simulations.
Tens of early type galaxies have been recently reported to possess prolate rotation, i.e. significant amount of rotation around the major axis, including two cases in the Local Group. Although expected theoretically, this phenomenon is rarely observe
d and remains elusive. In order to explore its origin we study the population of well-resolved galaxies in the Illustris cosmological simulation. We identify 59 convincing examples of prolate rotators at the present time, more frequently among more massive galaxies, with the number varying very little with redshift. We follow their evolution back in time using the main progenitor branch galaxies of the Illustris merger trees. We find that the emergence of prolate rotation is strongly correlated with the time of the last significant merger the galaxy experienced, although other evolutionary paths leading to prolate rotation are also possible. The transition to prolate rotation most often happens around the same time as the transition to prolate shape of the stellar component. The mergers leading to prolate rotation have slightly more radial orbits, higher mass ratios, and occur at more recent times than mergers in the reference sample of twin galaxies we construct for comparison. However, they cover a wide range of initial conditions in terms of the mass ratio, merger time, radiality of the progenitor orbits, and the relative orientations of spins of the progenitors with respect to the orbital angular momenta. About half of our sample of prolate rotators were created during gas-rich mergers and the newly formed stars usually support prolate rotation.
(Abridged) Any viable cosmological model in which galaxies interact predicts the existence of primordial and tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs). In particular, in the standard model of cosmology ($Lambda$CDM), according to the dual dwarf galaxy theorem, the
re must exist both primordial dark matter-dominated and dark matter-free TDGs with different radii. We study the frequency, evolution, and properties of TDGs in a $Lambda$CDM cosmology. We use the hydrodynamical cosmological Illustris-1 simulation to identify tidal dwarf galaxy candidates (TDGCs) and study their present-day physical properties. We also present movies on the formation of a few galaxies lacking dark matter, confirming their tidal dwarf nature. TDGCs can however also be formed via other mechanisms, such as from ram-pressure-stripped material or, speculatively, from cold-accreted gas. We find 97 TDGCs with $M_{stellar} >5 times 10^7 M_odot$ at redshift $z = 0$, corresponding to a co-moving number density of $2.3 times 10^{-4} h^3 cMpc^{-3}$. The most massive TDGC has $M_{total} = 3.1 times 10^9 M_odot$, comparable to that of the Large Magellanic Cloud. TDGCs are phase-space-correlated, reach high metallicities, and are typically younger than dark matter-rich dwarf galaxies. We report for the first time the verification of the dual dwarf theorem in a self-consistent $Lambda$CDM cosmological simulation. Simulated TDGCs and dark matter-dominated galaxies populate different regions in the radius-mass diagram in disagreement with observations of early-type galaxies. The dark matter-poor galaxies formed in Illustris-1 have comparable radii to observed dwarf galaxies and to TDGs formed in other galaxy-encounter simulations. In Illustris-1, only 0.17% of all selected galaxies with $M_{stellar} = 5 times 10^7-10^9 M_odot$ are TDGCs or dark matter-poor dwarf galaxies. The occurrence of NGC 1052-DF2-type objects is discussed.
