Local Group galaxies emerge from the dark
Till Sawala, Carlos S. Frenk, Azadeh Fattahi +13
The "Lambda Cold Dark Matter" (LCDM) model of cosmic structure formation is eminently falsifiable: once its parameters are fixed on large scales, it becomes testable in the nearby…
Orbital parameters of infalling satellite haloes in the hierarchical CDM model
Lilian Jiang, Shaun Cole, Till Sawala +1
We present distributions of orbital parameters of infalling satellites of CDM haloes in the mass range M, which represent the initial conditions for the…
The EAGLE project: Simulating the evolution and assembly of galaxies and their environments
Joop Schaye, Robert A. Crain, Richard G. Bower +19
We introduce the Virgo Consortium's EAGLE project, a suite of hydrodynamical simulations that follow the formation of galaxies and black holes in representative volumes. We discuss…
The chosen few: the low mass halos that host faint galaxies
Till Sawala, Carlos S. Frenk, Azadeh Fattahi +8
Since reionization prevents star formation in most halos below 3 x 10^9 solar masses, dwarf galaxies only populate a fraction of existing dark matter halos. We use hydrodynamic cos…
Subhalo statistics of galactic halos: beyond the resolution limit
Marius Cautun, Wojciech A. Hellwing, Rien van de Weygaert +3
We study the substructure population of Milky Way (MW)-mass halos in the CDM cosmology using a novel procedure to extrapolate subhalo number statistics beyond the resolution lim…
Bent by baryons: the low mass galaxy-halo relation
Till Sawala, Carlos S. Frenk, Azadeh Fattahi +11
The relation between galaxies and dark matter halos is of vital importance for evaluating theoretical predictions of structure formation and galaxy formation physics. We show that…
