One-Two Quench: A Double Minor Merger Scenario

N. Nicole Sanchez, Michael Tremmel, Jessica K. Werk +5

Using the N-body+Smoothed particle hydrodynamics code, ChaNGa, we identify two merger-driven processes\textemdash disk disruption and supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback\textem…

Ultra-faint dwarfs in a Milky Way context: Introducing the Mint Condition DC Justice League Simulations

Elaad Applebaum, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte R. Christensen +4

We present results from the "Mint" resolution DC Justice League suite of Milky Way-like zoom-in cosmological simulations, which extend our study of nearby galaxies down into the ul…

An Excess of Globular Clusters in UDGs Formed Through Tidal Heating

Timothy Carleton, Yicheng Guo, Ferah Munshi +2

To investigate the origin of elevated globular cluster abundances observed around Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs), we simulate globular cluster populations hosted by UDGs formed thro…

Massive black hole merger rates: the effect of kpc separation wandering and supernova feedback

Enrico Barausse, Irina Dvorkin, Michael Tremmel +2

We revisit the predictions for the merger rate of massive black hole binaries detectable by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and their background signal for pulsar-tim…

The Formation of Isolated Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in Romulus25

Anna C. Wright, Michael Tremmel, Alyson M. Brooks +4

We use the \textsc{Romulus25} cosmological simulation volume to identify the largest-ever simulated sample of {\it field} ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). At , we find that isol…

Self-Interacting Dark Matter and the Delay of Super-Massive Black Hole Growth

Akaxia Cruz, Andrew Pontzen, Marta Volonteri +6

Using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with physically motivated models of super-massive black hole (SMBH) formation and growth, we compare the assembly of Milky Way-mass ( $M…

A Link Between Ram Pressure Stripping and Active Galactic Nuclei

Angelo Ricarte, Michael Tremmel, Priyamvada Natarajan +1

The dense environment of a galaxy cluster can radically transform the content of in-falling galaxies. Recent observations have found a significant population of active galactic nuc…

Fountains and storms: The role of AGN and mergers in disrupting the cool-core in the RomulusC simulation

Urmila Chadayammuri, Michael Tremmel, Daisuke Nagai +2

The intracluster medium (ICM) is a multi-phase environment, dynamically regulated by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), the motions of galaxies through it, and mergers with other cluste…
