The alignment of galaxy spin with the shear field in observations
Isha Pahwa, Noam I. Libeskind, Elmo Tempel +6
Tidal torque theory suggests that galaxies gain angular momentum in the linear stage of structure formation. Such a theory predicts alignments between the spin of haloes and tidal…
Mergers and the outside-in formation of dwarf spheroidals
Alejandro Benítez-Llambay, Julio F. Navarro, Mario G. Abadi +4
We use a cosmological simulation of the formation of the Local Group to explore the origin of age and metallicity gradients in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We find that a number of s…
The distribution of mass components in simulated disc galaxies
Isabel M. Santos-Santos, Chris B. Brook, Greg Stinson +5
Using 22 hydrodynamical simulated galaxies in a LCDM cosmological context we recover not only the observed baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, but also the observed "mass discrepancy--…
The Effect of Environment on Milky Way-mass galaxies in a Constrained Simulation of the Local Group
Peter Creasey, Cecilia Scannapieco, Sebastian E. Nuza +3
In this letter we present, for the first time, a study of star formation rate, gas fraction and galaxy morphology of a constrained simulation of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M…
Vast planes of satellites in a high resolution simulation of the Local Group: comparison to Andromeda
N. Gillet, P. Ocvirk, D. Aubert +5
We search for vast planes of satellites (VPoS) in a high resolution simulation of the Local Group performed by the CLUES project, which improves significantly the resolution of for…
