A New Model for the Milky Way Halo Dispersion Measure with the ENGAWA Simulations: Low DMs and Large Anisotropy

Scott Lucchini, Liam Connor, Samuel McCarty +1

Fast radio burst (FRB) dispersion measures (DMs) are powerful tracers of the low density universe, but interpretation is made difficult by the integrated nature of DM. In this pape…

ENhanced Galactic Atmospheres With Arepo: Resolving the CGM at 200 pc with the ENGAWA Simulations

Scott Lucchini, Cecilia Abramson, Cameron Hummels +3

Simulating the small-scale features and dynamics of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is computationally challenging due to its large volume, low densities, multiphase structure, and…

The LMC Corona Favors a First Passage

Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han, Sapna Mishra +1

We use constrained idealized simulations of the LMC/Milky Way interaction to determine if the size of the LMC's gaseous halo (Corona) can be used to distinguish between first and s…

Threading the Magellanic Needle: Hypervelocity Stars Trace the Past Location of the LMC

Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han

Recent discoveries have shown that a population of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) originate from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We use three such HVSs as dynamical tracers to constr…

New Interpretation for the Orientation of the LMC's Gaseous Arms B and E using ULLYSES

April Horton, Suraj Poudel, Kathleen A. Barger +20

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) experiences disruption from tidal and ram-pressure forces as it travels through the halo of the Milky Way. In this project, we combine radio emissi…

Invisible Accretion: Ionized Envelopes of TNG50 HVCs can Sustain Star Formation

Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han, Lars Hernquist +2

Galactic high-velocity clouds (HVCs) are known to be complex, multiphase systems consisting of neutral and/or ionized gas moving at high velocities relative to the rotation of the…
