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

© 2018 The Author(s). 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...
