Quantifying scatter in galaxy formation at the lowest masses

Ferah Munshi, Alyson Brooks, Elaad Applebaum +3

We predict the stellar mass -- halo mass (SMHM) relationship for dwarf galaxies, using simulated galaxies with peak halo masses of M M down into th…

Ultra-faint dwarfs in a Milky Way context: Introducing the Mint Condition DC Justice League Simulations

Elaad Applebaum, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte R. Christensen +4

We present results from the "Mint" resolution DC Justice League suite of Milky Way-like zoom-in cosmological simulations, which extend our study of nearby galaxies down into the ul…

Quenching timescales of dwarf satellites around Milky Way-mass hosts

Hollis B. Akins, Charlotte R. Christensen, Alyson M. Brooks +4

Observations of the low-mass satellites in the Local Group have shown high fractions of gas-poor, quiescent galaxies relative to isolated dwarfs, implying that the host halo enviro…

Roll of the Dice: A Stochastically Sampled IMF Alters the Stellar Content of Simulated Dwarf Galaxies

Elaad Applebaum, Alyson M. Brooks, Thomas R. Quinn +1

Cosmological simulations are reaching the resolution necessary to study ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. Observations indicate that in small populations, the stellar initial mass functi…

Dancing in the Dark: Uncertainty in ultra-faint dwarf galaxy predictions from cosmological simulations

Ferah Munshi, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte Christensen +4

The existence of ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies highlights the need to push our theoretical understanding of galaxies to extremely low mass. We examine the formation of UFDs by t…

Going, going, gone dark: Quantifying the scatter in the faintest dwarf galaxies

Ferah Munshi, Alyson M. Brooks, Elaad Applebaum +3

We predict the stellar mass-halo mass (SMHM) relationship for dwarf galaxies and their satellites residing in halos down to M 10 M with 10 M$_{\odot} <…
