Relic galaxy analogues in TNG50 simulation: the formation pathways of surviving red nuggets in a cosmological simulation
Relic galaxies are massive compact quiescent galaxies that formed at high-redshift and remained almost unchanged since then. In this work, we search for analogues to relic galaxies in the TNG50 cosmological simulations to understand relic formation and test the ability of TNG50 to reproduce such rar...
