On the co-rotation of Milky Way satellites: LMC-mass satellites induce apparent motions in outer halo tracers
Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Jenna Samuel +8
Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a co-rotating thin plane of satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging.…
Bar formation and destruction in the FIRE-2 simulations
Sioree Ansar, Sarah Pearson, Robyn E. Sanderson +5
The physical mechanisms responsible for bar formation and destruction in galaxies remain a subject of debate. While we have gained valuable insight into how bars form and evolve fr…
LMC-driven anisotropic boosts in stream--subhalo interactions
Arpit Arora, Nicolás Garavito-Camargo, Robyn E. Sanderson +4
Dark Matter (DM) subhalos are predicted to perturb stellar streams; stream morphologies and dynamics can constrain the mass distribution of subhalos. Using FIRE-2 simulations of Mi…
Chemical Cartography of the Sagittarius Stream with Gaia
Emily C. Cunningham, Jason A. S. Hunt, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +5
The stellar stream connected to the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy is the most massive tidal stream that has been mapped in the Galaxy, and is the dominant contributor to the outer…
The proto-galaxy of Milky Way-mass haloes in the FIRE simulations
Danny Horta, Emily C. Cunningham, Robyn Sanderson +9
Observational studies are finding stars believed to be relics of the earliest stages of hierarchical mass assembly of the Milky Way (i.e., proto-Galaxy). In this work, we contextua…
Structure, Kinematics, and Observability of the Large Magellanic Cloud's Dynamical Friction Wake in Cold vs. Fuzzy Dark Matter
Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla, Philip Mocz +7
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) will induce a dynamical friction (DF) wake on infall to the Milky Way (MW). The MW's stellar halo will respond to the gravity of the LMC and the da…
