Hot or Cold? Radial Redistribution of Stars in FIRE Simulations of Milky Way-Mass Galaxies and the Asymmetry of Inward versus Outward Migrators
Cecilia Steel, Andrew Wetzel, Rori Kang +3
Stars can radially redistribute (migrate) within galactic disks. The degree to which this occurs as dynamically `cold' (preserves orbital eccentricity) or `hot' (increases eccentri…
No Stream Left Unscathed: The imprint of a host galaxy
Arpit Arora, Peter S. Ferguson, Jacob Nibauer +11
Stellar streams from disrupted globular clusters are excellent probes of dark matter (DM) subhalos. Observed Milky Way streams display a remarkable diversity of features: spurs, ga…
Radial redistribution of stellar orbits in FIRE simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies
Matthew A. Bellardini, Fiona McCluskey, Andrew Wetzel +3
A central question in galactic dynamics and galactic archeology is: how much do the orbits of stars redistribute (migrate) after birth? We use the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simul…
The origin of strong -element bimodalities in FIRE simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Megan Barry, Andrew Wetzel, Sarah Loebman +2
One of the Milky Way's characteristic features is a strongly bimodal distribution of -process elements, such as Mg, at fixed [Fe/H] in stellar abundances. We examine patterns in…
