The origin and properties of massive prolate galaxies in the Illustris simulation

Show other versions (1)

We study galaxy shapes in the Illustris cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. We find that massive galaxies have a higher probability of being prolate. For galaxies with stellar mass larger than 1011 M⊙, 35 out of total 839 galaxies are prolate. For 21 galaxies with stellar mass larger than 1012 M⊙,...
