The Role of Baryons in Creating Statistically Significant Planes of Satellites around Milky Way-Mass Galaxies
Sheehan H. Ahmed, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte R. Christensen
We investigate whether the inclusion of baryonic physics influences the formation of thin, coherently rotating planes of satellites such as those seen around the Milky Way and Andr…
Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations of Preferential Accretion in the SMBH of Milky Way Size Galaxies
N. Nicole Sanchez, Jillian M. Bellovary, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +6
Using a new, high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of a Milky Way-type (MW-type) galaxy, we explore how a merger-rich assembly history affects the mass budget of the…
The effects of host galaxy properties on merging compact binaries detectable by LIGO
Richard O'Shaughnessy, Jillian Bellovary, Alyson Brooks +3
Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation can produce present-day galaxies with a large range of assembly and star formation histories. A detailed study of the metallicity evolu…
Assessing Astrophysical Uncertainties in Direct Detection with Galaxy Simulations
Jonathan D. Sloane, Matthew R. Buckley, Alyson M. Brooks +1
We study the local dark matter velocity distribution in simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies, generated at high resolution with both dark matter and baryons. We find that the dark mat…
