Modeling a high velocity LMC. The formation of the Magellanic Stream
Chiara Mastropietro
I use high resolution N-body/SPH simulations to model the new proper motion of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) within the Milky Way (MW) halo and investigate the effects of gravit…
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…
The Magellanic Clouds as a template for the study of stellar populations and galaxy interactions
M. -R. L. Cioni, K. Bekki, G. Clementini +18
The Magellanic System represents one of the best places to study the formation and evolution of galaxies. Photometric surveys of various depths, areas and wavelengths have had a si…
Early Gas Stripping as the Origin of the Darkest Galaxies in the Universe
Lucio Mayer, Stelios Kazantzidis, Chiara Mastropietro +1
The known galaxies most dominated by dark matter (Draco, Ursa Minor and Andromeda IX) are satellites of the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies. They are members of a class of fai…
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…
