The edge of galaxy formation I: formation and evolution of MW-satellites analogues before accretion

Andrea V. Macciò, Jonas Frings, Tobias Buck +4

The satellites of the Milky Way and Andromeda represent the smallest galaxies we can observe in our Universe. In this series of papers we aim to shed light on their formation and e…

NIHAO V: Too big doesn't fail -- reconciling the conflict between LCDM predictions and the circular velocities of nearby field galaxies

Aaron A. Dutton, Andrea V. Macciò, Jonas Frings +4

We compare the half-light circular velocities, V_{1/2}, of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group to the predicted circular velocity curves of galaxies in the NIHAO suite of LCDM simula…

The response of dark matter haloes to elliptical galaxy formation: a new test for quenching scenarios

Aaron A. Dutton, Andrea V. Macciò, Gregory S. Stinson +3

We use cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations with the SPH code gasoline of four haloes of mass M_{200} \sim 10^{13}\Msun to study the response of the dark matter to ellip…
