How invisible stellar halos bias our understanding of ultra-faint galaxies
Coral Wheeler, Jorge Moreno, M. Katy Rodriguez Wimberly +6
We explore how a realistic surface brightness detection limit of mag arcsec for stars at the edges of ultra-faint galaxies affects our ability to infer th…
Bloodhound Unleashed: Particle-based Substructure Tracking for Cosmological Simulations
Hyunsu Kong, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, James S. Bullock
Modern studies of galaxy formation rely heavily on numerical simulations, which in turn require tools to identify and track self-bound structures in stars and dark matter. In this…
Central densities of dark matter halos in FIRE-2 simulations of low-mass galaxies with cold dark matter and self-interacting dark matter
Maria C. Straight, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, James S. Bullock +6
We investigate the central density structure of dark matter halos in cold dark matter (CDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models using simulations that are part of the Fe…
Effects of galactic environment on size and dark matter content in low-mass galaxies
Francisco J. Mercado, Jorge Moreno, Robert Feldmann +8
We utilize the cosmological volume simulation, FIREbox, to investigate how a galaxy's environment influences its size and dark matter content. Our study focuses on approximately 1,…
