Title
Bulgeless Evolution and the Rise of Disks (BEARD): The Role of Host Galaxy Morphology in Shaping Satellite Populations
Speaker
Salvador Cardona Barrero (University of La Laguna)
Abstract

This study explores how satellite population properties depend on the morphology of their host galaxies, using data from the TNG50-1 simulation. By analyzing galaxies with distinct bulge-to-disk mass ratios, we uncover significant differences in satellite spatial distributions, luminosities, and orbital dynamics. Disk-dominated galaxies host fainter satellites that are more centrally concentrated and exhibit preferential orbital alignment with the host’s angular momentum. In contrast, bulge-dominated systems show a more isotropic and extended spatial distribution of satellites. These findings offer new insights into the relationship between galaxy morphology and satellite system evolution.
