The origin and properties of massive prolate galaxies in the Illustris simulation
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 $10^{11}\rm M_{\odot}$, 35 out of total 839 galaxies are prolate. For 21 galaxies with stellar mass large...
