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…
The edge of galaxy formation II: evolution of Milky Way satellite analogues after infall
Jonas Frings, Andrea V. Macciò, Tobias Buck +4
In the first paper we presented 27 hydrodynamical cosmological simulations of galaxies with total masses between and . In this second pap…
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…
NIHAO IV: Core creation and destruction in dark matter density profiles across cosmic time
Edouard Tollet, Andrea V. Macciò, Aaron A. Dutton +10
We use the NIHAO simulations to investigate the effects of baryonic physics on the time evolution of Dark Matter central density profiles. The sample is made of indepe…
NIHAO project I: Reproducing the inefficiency of galaxy formation across cosmic time with a large sample of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations
Liang Wang, Aaron A. Dutton, Gregory S. Stinson +5
We introduce project NIHAO (Numerical Investigation of a Hundred Astrophysical Objects), a set of 100 cosmological zoom-in hydrodynamical simulations performed using the gasoline c…
NIHAO project II: Halo shape, phase-space density and velocity distribution of dark matter in galaxy formation simulations
Iryna Butsky, Andrea V. Macciò, Aaron A. Dutton +6
We use the NIHAO (Numerical Investigation of Hundred Astrophysical Objects) cosmological simulations to study the effects of galaxy formation on key properties of dark matter (DM)…
