Cosmic web stripping and starvation of low-mass filament galaxies in TNG50
This research used high-resolution simulations to see how galaxies in cosmic web filaments differ from field galaxies regarding their cold gas. It found that filament galaxies have smaller, more asymmetric cold gas discs due to two main reasons: gradual starvation and rapid stripping of gas. This shows that large-scale structure significantly shapes galaxy evolution even in low-mass systems.
