Shape Asymmetries and the Relation between Lopsidedness and Radial Alignment in Simulated Galaxies
Galaxies are observed to be lopsided, meaning that they are more massive and more extended along one side than the opposite side. In this work, we provide a statistical analysis of the lopsided morphology of 1780 isolated satellite galaxies generated by the TNG50-1 simulation, incorporating the effe...
