Reproducing the Stellar Mass/Halo Mass Relation in Simulated LCDM Galaxies: Theory vs Observational Estimates
Ferah Munshi, F. Governato, A. M. Brooks +6
We examine the present-day total stellar-to-halo mass (SHM) ratio as a function of halo mass for a new sample of simulated field galaxies using fully cosmological, LCDM, high resol…
The Local Group as a test of cosmological models
F. Governato, B. Moore, R. Cen +3
The dynamics of the Local Group and its environment provide a unique challenge to cosmological models. The velocity field within 5h-1 Mpc of the Local Group (LG) is extremely ``col…
A dark matter disc in three cosmological simulations of Milky Way mass galaxies
J. I. Read, L. Mayer, A. M. Brooks +2
Making robust predictions for the phase space distribution of dark matter at the solar neighbourhood is vital for dark matter direct detection experiments. To date, almost all such…
Analytic and numerical realisations of a disk galaxy
M. J. Stringer, A. M. Brooks, A. J. Benson +1
Recent focus on the importance of cold, unshocked gas accretion in galaxy formation -- not explicitly included in semi-analytic studies -- motivates the following detailed comparis…
The Origin and Evolution of the Mass-Metallicity Relationship for Galaxies: Results from Cosmological N-Body Simulations
A. M. Brooks, F. Governato, C. M. Booth +5
We examine the origin and evolution of the mass-metallicity relationship (MZR, M-Z) for galaxies using high resolution cosmological SPH + N-Body simulations that include a physical…
On the origin of early type galaxies and the evolution of the interaction rate in the field
F. Governato, Jeffrey P. Gardner, J. Stadel +2
Using cosmological N-body simulations of critical (SCDM) and open (Omega_0=0.3, OCDM) cold dark matter models we have identified dark matter halos which are associated with the pro…
