The Milky Way system in LCDM cosmological simulations
Qi Guo, Andrew Cooper, Carlos Frenk +2
We apply a semi-analytic galaxy formation model to two high resolution cosmological N-body simulations to investigate analogues of the Milky Way system. We select these according t…
Particle tagging and its implications for stellar population dynamics
Theo Le Bret, Andrew Pontzen, Andrew P. Cooper +5
We establish a controlled comparison between the properties of galactic stellar halos obtained with hydrodynamical simulations and with `particle tagging'. Tagging is a fast way to…
Estimating the dark matter halo mass of our Milky Way using dynamical tracers
Wenting Wang, Jiaxin Han, Andrew P. Cooper +3
The mass of the dark matter halo of the Milky Way can be estimated by fitting analytical models to the phase-space distribution of dynamical tracers. We test this approach using re…
Formation of In Situ Stellar Haloes in Milky Way-Mass Galaxies
Andrew P. Cooper, Owen H. Parry, Ben Lowing +2
We study the formation of stellar haloes in three Milky Way-mass galaxies using cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations, focusing on the subset of halo stars that…
