Detection of a stellar bar in the extreme gas-rich galaxy GN20 at z=4.055 shows that gas-rich disks support rapid bar formation in the early universe.
75% of massive compact quiescent galaxies at z~0 require three-component photometric models (bulge + disk + envelope), versus only 7% of mass-matched control quiescent galaxies.
A Hubble-like sequence of galaxy morphologies exists by redshift 4, with low-mass galaxies as persistent star-forming disks and massive galaxies following either stable disk or rapid compaction-quenching paths.
Morphological metrics in galaxy images suffer systematic biases from resolution, depth, and noise that can be quantified and corrected empirically, with new metrics proposed to reduce those effects.
FIRE-2 simulations find metallicity gradients in EoR galaxies flatten from median -0.15 dex/kpc at z~10 to -0.1 at z~6, with positive correlations to stellar mass and gas flow proxy Δv/2σ and links to central SFR density.
Galaxy properties in IllustrisTNG form a continuum across the multiscale caustic skeleton, with formation time of web components influencing colors and star formation activity.
Tadpole galaxies at high redshift commonly show extended, symmetric Lyα halos that are spatially offset from their UV continuum emission.
Multi-band imaging and Keck spectroscopy identify a z=0.92 galaxy pair as a physical merger at ~5 kpc projected separation with merger-induced star formation.
