SDSS Observations of the Milky Way vs. N-body Models: A Comparison of Stellar Distributions in the Position-Velocity-Metallicity Space
S. Loebman, R. Roskar, Z. Ivezic
The data obtained by the recent modern sky surveys enable detailed studies of the stellar distribution in the multi-dimensional space spanned by spatial coordinates, velocity and m…
Riding the Spiral Waves: Implications of Stellar Migration for the Properties of Galactic Disks
Rok Roškar, Victor P. Debattista, Thomas R. Quinn +2
Stars in disks of spiral galaxies are usually assumed to remain roughly at their birth radii. This assumption is built into decades of modelling of the evolution of stellar populat…
Beyond Inside-Out Growth: Formation and Evolution of Disk Outskirts
Rok Roškar, Victor P. Debattista, Gregory S. Stinson +3
We have performed a high mass and force resolution simulation of an idealized galaxy forming from dissipational collapse of gas embedded in a spherical dark matter halo. The simula…
