A statistical look on kinematic planes of satellite galaxies II: The physics behind their early formation in TNG50 MW/M31-like galaxies

Matías Gámez-Marín, Rosa Domínguez-Tenreiro, Isabel Santos-Santos +2

We investigate the physical origin of kinematically persistent planes (KPPs) of satellite galaxies in a sample of 190 Milky Way (MW)/M31-like host-satellite systems drawn from the…

On the likelihoods of finding very metal-poor (and old) stars in the Milky Way's disc, bulge, and halo

Diego Sotillo-Ramos, Maria Bergemann, Jennifer K. S. Friske +1

Recent observational studies have uncovered a small number of very metal-poor stars with cold kinematics in the Galactic disc and bulge. However, their origins remain enigmatic. We…

Disk flaring with TNG50: diversity across Milky Way and M31 analogs

Diego Sotillo-Ramos, Martina Donnari, Annalisa Pillepich +4

We use the sample of 198 Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) analogs from TNG50 to quantify the level of disk flaring predicted by a modern, high-resolution cosmological hydrodynami…

Milky Way and Andromeda analogs from the TNG50 simulation

Annalisa Pillepich, Diego Sotillo-Ramos, Rahul Ramesh +7

We present the properties of Milky Way- and Andromeda-like (MW/M31-like) galaxies simulated within TNG50, the highest-resolution run of the IllustrisTNG suite of CDM magneto-hyd…

The merger and assembly histories of Milky Way- and M31-like galaxies with TNG50: disk survival through mergers

Diego Sotillo-Ramos, Annalisa Pillepich, Martina Donnari +6

We analyze the merger and assembly histories of Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31)-like galaxies to quantify how, and how often, disk galaxies of this mass can survive recent major…

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): The environmental impact on SFR and metallicity in galaxy groups

D. Sotillo-Ramos, M. A. Lara-Lopez, A. M. Perez-Garcia +7

We present a study of the relationships and environmental dependencies between stellar mass, star formation rate, and gas metallicity for more than 700 galaxies in groups up to red…
