IllustrisTNG in the HSC-SSP: No Shortage of Thin Disk Galaxies in TNG50

We perform a thorough analysis of the projected shapes of nearby galaxies in both observations and cosmological simulations. We implement a forward-modeling approach to overcome the limitations in previous studies, which hinder accurate comparisons between observations and simulations. We measure ax...
