A scaling relation for the molecular cloud lifetime in Milky Way-like galaxies

Sarah M. R. Jeffreson, Benjamin W. Keller, Andrew J. Winter +4

We study the time evolution of molecular clouds across three Milky Way-like isolated disc galaxy simulations at a temporal resolution of 1 Myr, and at a range of spatial resolution…

Where Did the Outskirts Go? Outer Stellar Haloes as a Sensitive Probe of Supernova Feedback

B. W. Keller

A recent comparison by Merritt et al. 2020 of simulated and observed Milky Way-mass galaxies has identified a significant tension between the outskirts ($r>20\kpc$) of the stellar…

Properties of Compact Faint Radio Sources as a Function of Angular Size from Stacking

Ryan S. Johnston, Jeroen M. Stil, Ben W. Keller

The polarization properties of radio sources powered by an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) have attracted considerable attention because of the significance of magnetic fields in the…

Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mark R. Krumholz +28

It is a major open question which physical processes stop the accretion of gas onto giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and limit the efficiency at which gas is converted into stars with…

Constraining the formation of NGC1052-DF2 from its unusual globular cluster population

Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Benjamin W. Keller +1

The ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) NGC1052-DF2 has a low dark matter content and hosts a very unusual globular cluster (GC) population, with a median luminosity times higher th…

Where did the globular clusters of the Milky Way form? Insights from the E-MOSAICS simulations

Benjamin W. Keller, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Joel Pfeffer +5

Globular clusters (GCs) are typically old, with most having formed at z >~ 2. This makes understanding their birth environments difficult, as they are typically too distant to obse…
