The optical morphologies of galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulation: a comparison to Pan-STARRS observations

We have generated synthetic images of ∼27 000 galaxies from the IllustrisTNG and the original Illustris hydrodynamic cosmological simulations, designed to match Pan-STARRS observations of log10(M*/M⊙) ≈ 9.8-11.3 galaxies at $z$ ≈ 0.05. Most of our synthetic images were created with the skirt radiati...

520 |a We have generated synthetic images of ∼27 000 galaxies from the IllustrisTNG and the original Illustris hydrodynamic cosmological simulations, designed to match Pan-STARRS observations of log10(M*/M⊙) ≈ 9.8-11.3 galaxies at $z$ ≈ 0.05. Most of our synthetic images were created with the skirt radiative transfer code, including the effects of dust attenuation and scattering, and performing the radiative transfer directly on the Voronoi mesh used by the simulations themselves. We have analysed both our synthetic and real Pan-STARRS images with the newly developed statmorph code, which calculates non-parametric morphological diagnostics - including the Gini-M20 and concentration-asymmetry-smoothness statistics - and performs 2D Sérsic fits. Overall, we find that the optical morphologies of IllustrisTNG galaxies are in good agreement with observations, and represent a substantial improvement compared to the original Illustris simulation. In particular, the locus of the Gini-M20 diagram is consistent with that inferred from observations, while the median trends with stellar mass of all the morphological, size and shape parameters considered in this work lie within the ∼1σ scatter of the observational trends. However, the IllustrisTNG model has some difficulty with more stringent tests, such as producing a strong morphology-colour relation. This results in a somewhat higher fraction of red discs and blue spheroids compared to observations. Similarly, the morphology-size relation is problematic: while observations show that discs tend to be larger than spheroids at a fixed stellar mass, such a trend is not present in IllustrisTNG.
