Constraining the shape of dark matter haloes with globular clusters
Marta Reina-Campos, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Joel L. Pfeffer +4
We explore how diffuse stellar light and globular clusters (GCs) can be used to trace the matter distribution of their host halo using an observational methodology. For this, we us…
What to expect when using globular clusters as tracers of the total mass distribution in Milky Way-mass galaxies
Meghan E. Hughes, Prashin Jethwa, Michael Hilker +8
Dynamical models allow us to connect the motion of a set of tracers to the underlying gravitational potential, and thus to the total (luminous and dark) matter distribution. They a…
The survival of globular clusters in a cuspy Fornax
Shi Shao, Marius Cautun, Carlos S. Frenk +5
It has long been argued that the radial distribution of globular clusters (GCs) in the Fornax dwarf galaxy requires its dark matter halo to have a core of size kpc. We rev…
Linking globular cluster formation at low and high redshift through the age-metallicity relation in E-MOSAICS
Danny Horta, Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer +4
We set out to compare the age-metallicity relation (AMR) of massive clusters from Magellanic Cloud mass galaxies in the E-MOSAICS suite of numerical cosmological simulations with a…
Where did the globular clusters of the Milky Way form? Insights from the E-MOSAICS simulations
Benjamin W. Keller, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Joel Pfeffer +5
Globular clusters (GCs) are typically old, with most having formed at z >~ 2. This makes understanding their birth environments difficult, as they are typically too distant to obse…
The globular cluster system mass-halo mass relation in the E-MOSAICS simulations
Nate Bastian, Joel Pfeffer, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +3
Linking globular clusters (GCs) to the assembly of their host galaxies is an overarching goal in GC studies. The inference of tight scaling relations between GC system properties a…
