The origin of the diverse morphologies and kinematics of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations
Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel +11
We use hydrodynamic cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project to explore the morphologies and kinematics of fifteen Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies. Our sample ranges fro…
Reconciling observed and simulated stellar halo masses
Robyn E. Sanderson, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel +6
We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies from the FIRE project to evaluate various strategies for estimating the mass of a galaxy's stellar halo fr…
The abundance, distribution, and physical nature of highly ionized oxygen OVI, OVII, and OVIII in IllustrisTNG
Dylan Nelson, Guinevere Kauffmann, Annalisa Pillepich +8
We explore the abundance, spatial distribution, and physical properties of the OVI, OVII, and OVIII ions of oxygen in circumgalactic and intergalactic media (the CGM, IGM, and WHIM…
Similar star formation rate and metallicity evolution timescales drive the fundamental metallicity relation
Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger, Lars Hernquist +10
The fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) is a postulated correlation between galaxy stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and gas-phase metallicity. At its core, this relation…
On the rate of black hole binary mergers in galactic nuclei due to dynamical hardening
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Aaron M. Geller, B. McKernan +9
We assess the contribution of dynamical hardening by direct three-body scattering interactions to the rate of stellar-mass black hole binary (BHB) mergers in galactic nuclei. We de…
The supermassive black hole coincident with the luminous transient ASASSN-15lh
T. Krühler, M. Fraser, G. Leloudas +11
The progenitors of astronomical transients are linked to a specific stellar population and galactic environment, and observing their host galaxies hence constrains the physical nat…
The evolution of the mass-metallicity relation in IllustrisTNG
Paul Torrey, Mark Vogelsberger, Federico Marinacci +8
The coevolution of galaxies and their metal content serves as an important test for galaxy feedback models. We analyze the distribution and evolution of metals within the Illustris…
SMHASH: Anatomy of the Orphan Stream using RR Lyrae stars
David Hendel, Victoria Scowcroft, Kathryn V. Johnston +30
Stellar tidal streams provide an opportunity to study the motion and structure of the disrupting galaxy as well as the gravitational potential of its host. Streams around the Milky…
Supermassive black holes and their feedback effects in the IllustrisTNG simulation
Rainer Weinberger, Volker Springel, Rüdiger Pakmor +8
We study the population of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their effects on massive central galaxies in the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy form…
The Influence of Sagittarius and the Large Magellanic Cloud on the Milky Way Galaxy
Chervin F. P. Laporte, Kathryn V. Johnston, Facundo A. Gómez +2
We present N-body simulations of a Sagittarius-like dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr) that follow its orbit about the Milky Way (MW) since its first crossing of the Galaxy's virial rad…
xCOLD GASS: the complete IRAM-30m legacy survey of molecular gas for galaxy evolution studies
Amélie Saintonge, Barbara Catinella, Linda J. Tacconi +18
We introduce xCOLD GASS, a legacy survey providing a census of molecular gas in the local Universe. Building upon the original COLD GASS survey, we present here the full sample of…
Revealing the Milky Way's Hidden Circumgalactic Medium with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph Quasar Database for Galactic Absorption Lines
Y. Zheng, J. E. G. Peek, M. E. Putman +1
Every quasar (QSO) spectrum contains absorption-line signatures from the interstellar medium, disk-halo interface, and circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the Milky Way (MW). We analyze…
A Drop in the Pond: The Effect of Rapid Mass Loss on the Dynamics and Interaction Rate of Collisionless Particles
Zephyr Penoyre, Zoltán Haiman
In symmetric gravitating systems experiencing rapid mass loss, particle orbits change almost instantaneously, which can lead to the development of a sharply contoured density profi…
Interactions between multiple supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei: a solution to the final parsec problem
Taeho Ryu, Rosalba Perna, Zoltán Haiman +2
Using few-body simulations, we investigate the evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxies ( at ) at . Following…
NuSTAR hard X-ray data and Gemini 3D spectra reveal powerful AGN and outflow histories in two low-redshift Lyman- blobs
Taiki Kawamuro, Mischa Schirmer, James E. H. Turner +2
We have shown that Lyman- blobs (LABs) may still exist even at , about 7 billion years later than most other LABs known (Schirmer et al. 2016). Their luminous Ly an…
Low density, radiatively inefficient rotating-accretion flow onto a black hole
Kohei Inayoshi, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Zoltan Haiman +1
We study low-density axisymmetric accretion flows onto black holes (BHs) with two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations, adopting the -viscosity prescription. When the gas angu…
The Delay Time Distribution of Tidal Disruption Flares
Nicholas C. Stone, Aleksey Generozov, Eugene Vasiliev +1
Recent observations suggest that stellar tidal disruption events (TDE) are strongly overrepresented in rare, post-starburst galaxies. Several dynamical mechanisms have been propose…
