Accretion relicts in the solar neighbourhood: debris from omegaCen's parent galaxy
Andres Meza, Julio F. Navarro, Mario G. Abadi +1
We use numerical simulations to investigate the orbital characteristics of tidal debris from satellites whose orbits are dragged into the plane of galactic disks by dynamical frict…
Internal and External Alignment of the Shapes and Angular Momenta of LCDM Halos
Jeremy Bailin, Matthias Steinmetz
(Abridged) We investigate how the shapes and angular momenta of galaxy and group mass dark matter halos in a LCDM N-body simulation are correlated internally, and how they are alig…
The Angular Momentum Distribution of Gas and Dark Matter in Galactic Halos
Sanjib Sharma, Matthias Steinmetz
(Abridged) We report results of a series of non radiative N-body/SPH simulations in a LCDM cosmology. We find that the spin of the baryonic component is on average larger than that…
Figure Rotation of Cosmological Dark Matter Halos
Jeremy Bailin, Matthias Steinmetz
We have analyzed galaxy and group-sized dark matter halos formed in a high resolution LCDM numerical N-body simulation in order to study the rotation of the triaxial figure, a prop…
Tidal Torques and the Orientation of Nearby Disk Galaxies
Julio F. Navarro, Mario G. Abadi, Matthias Steinmetz
We use numerical simulations to investigate the orientation of the angular momentum axis of disk galaxies relative to their surrounding large scale structure. We find that this is…
