Simulating the Bullet Cluster
Chiara Mastropietro, Andreas Burkert
We present high resolution N-body/SPH simulations of the interacting cluster 1E0657-56. The main and the sub-cluster are modeled using extended cuspy LCDM dark matter halos and iso…
Simultaneous ram pressure and tidal stripping; how dwarf spheroidals lost their gas
Lucio Mayer, Chiara Mastropietro, James Wadsley +2
We perform high-resolution N-Body+SPH simulations of gas-rich dwarf galaxy satellites orbiting within a Milky Way-sized halo and study for the first time the combined effects of ti…
The gravitational and hydrodynamical interaction between the LMC and the Galaxy
Chiara Mastropietro, Ben Moore, Lucio Mayer +2
We use high resolution N-Body/SPH simulations to study the hydrodynamical and gravitational interaction between the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way. We model the dark and…
Morphological evolution of disk galaxies in clusters
Chiara Mastropietro, Ben Moore, Lucio Mayer +3
The recent discovery of hidden non-axysimmetric and disk-like structures in bright Virgo dwarf elliptical and lenticular galaxies (dE/dSph/dS0) indicates that they may have late-ty…
On the formation of the Magellanic Stream
C. Mastropietro, B. Moore, L. Mayer +2
We use high resolution N-Body/SPH simulations to study the hydro-dynamical and gravitational interaction between the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way. We model the dark and…
