Understanding the Formation and Evolution of Dark Galaxies in a Simulated Universe
We study the formation and evolution of dark galaxies using the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We first identify dark galaxies with stellar-to-total mass ratios, M _* / M _tot , smaller than 10 ^−4 , which differ from luminous galaxies with M _* / M _tot ≥ 10 ^−4 . We then sele...
