A dark matter profile to model diverse feedback-induced core sizes of CDM haloes
Alexandres Lazar, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +11
We analyze the cold dark matter density profiles of 54 galaxy halos simulated with FIRE-2 galaxy formation physics, each resolved within of the halo virial radius. These ha…
The Edge of the Galaxy
Alis J. Deason, Azadeh Fattahi, Carlos S. Frenk +5
We use cosmological simulations of isolated Milky Way-mass galaxies, as well as Local Group analogues, to define the "edge" -- a caustic manifested in a drop in density or radial v…
Cataloging Accreted Stars within Gaia DR2 using Deep Learning
Bryan Ostdiek, Lina Necib, Timothy Cohen +6
The goal of this study is to present the development of a machine learning based approach that utilizes phase space alone to separate the Gaia DR2 stars into two categories: those…
Predicting the LISA white dwarf binary population in the Milky Way with cosmological simulations
Astrid Lamberts, Sarah Blunt, Tyson Littenberg +3
Short-period (P<1 hour) white dwarf binaries will be the most numerous sources for the space-based gravitational wave detector LISA. Based on thousands of resolved systems, we will…
Characterizing the Infall Times and Quenching Timescales of Milky Way Satellites with Proper Motions
Sean P. Fillingham, Michael C. Cooper, Tyler Kelley +6
Observations of low-mass satellite galaxies in the nearby Universe point towards a strong dichotomy in their star-forming properties relative to systems with similar mass in the fi…
But What About... Cosmic Rays, Magnetic Fields, Conduction, & Viscosity in Galaxy Formation
Philip F. Hopkins, T. K. Chan, Shea Garrison-Kimmel +6
We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological simulations, using the FIRE-2 feedback physics together with explicit treatment of magnetic fields, anisotropic conduction and vi…
