Right round: onset and long-term evolution of rotation in star clusters
E. Dalessandro, A. Della Croce, E. Vesperini +4
We present the results of a detailed kinematic analysis of a significant fraction of the known population of Galactic star clusters aimed at constraining the physical mechanisms dr…
The physics governing the upper truncation mass of the globular cluster mass function
Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer, Nate Bastian +5
The mass function of globular cluster (GC) populations is a fundamental observable that encodes the physical conditions under which these massive stellar clusters formed and evolve…
Globular clusters as tracers of the dark matter halo: insights from the E-MOSAICS simulations
Marta Reina-Campos, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Alis J. Deason +5
Globular clusters (GCs) are bright objects that span a wide range of galactocentric distances, and are thus probes of the structure of dark matter (DM) haloes. In this work, we exp…
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…
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 kinematics of globular cluster populations in the E-MOSAICS simulations and their implications for the assembly history of the Milky Way
Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Marta Reina-Campos +5
We present a detailed comparison of the Milky Way (MW) globular cluster (GC) kinematics with the 25 Milky Way-mass cosmological simulations from the E-MOSAICS project. While the MW…
Kraken reveals itself -- the merger history of the Milky Way reconstructed with the E-MOSAICS simulations
J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Joel L. Pfeffer, Mélanie Chevance +6
Globular clusters (GCs) formed when the Milky Way experienced a phase of rapid assembly. We use the wealth of information contained in the Galactic GC population to quantify the pr…
Predicting accreted satellite galaxy masses and accretion redshifts based on globular cluster orbits in the E-MOSAICS simulations
Joel L. Pfeffer, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +4
The ages and metallicities of globular clusters (GCs) are known to be powerful tracers of the properties of their progenitor galaxies, enabling their use in determining the merger…
The [α/Fe]-[Fe/H] relation in the E-MOSAICS simulations: its connection to the birth place of globular clusters and the fraction of globular cluster field stars in the bulge
Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer, Marie Martig +4
The α-element abundances of the globular cluster (GC) and field star populations of galaxies encode information about the formation of each of these components. We use the E-MOSAIC…
The mass fraction of halo stars contributed by the disruption of globular clusters in the E-MOSAICS simulations
Marta Reina-Campos, Meghan E. Hughes, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +5
Globular clusters (GCs) have been posited, alongside dwarf galaxies, as significant contributors to the field stellar population of the Galactic halo. In order to quantify their co…
The evolution of the UV luminosity function of globular clusters in the E-MOSAICS simulations
Joel Pfeffer, Nate Bastian, Robert A. Crain +3
We present the evolution of the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) properties of the globular cluster (GC) populations and their host galaxies formed in the E-MOSAICS suite of cosmologica…
Fossil stellar streams and their globular cluster populations in the E-MOSAICS simulations
Meghan E. Hughes, Joel Pfeffer, Marie Martig +4
Stellar haloes encode a fossil record of a galaxy's accretion history, generally in the form of structures of low surface brightness, such as stellar streams. While their low surfa…
