Simulated and observed recovered maps. The left panels show ten TNG50 recovered stellar population and kinematic maps. From top to bottom in each subpanel: the V-band reconstructed image, LW-age, LW-metallicity, LOS velocity, and velocity dispersion maps. The right panels show the MaNGA counterparts of each of the galaxies in the left panels. These examples were chosen to represent ten regions of the M_* − R_e: five mass bins (delimited by 10^9.25, 10^9.75, 10^10.25, and 10^10.75 M_⊙), which correspond to the columns, with increasing mass from left to right, and two R_e[kpc] regions per mass bin (rows, increasing size from bottom to top).
