Auriga Streams II: orbital properties of tidally disrupting satellites of Milky Way-mass galaxies

Nora Shipp, Alexander H. Riley, Christine M. Simpson +7

Galaxies like the Milky Way are surrounded by complex populations of satellites at all stages of tidal disruption. In this paper, we present a dynamical study of the disrupting sat…

Exploring the interaction between the MW and LMC with a large sample of blue horizontal branch stars from the DESI survey

Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Sophia Lilleengen +42

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a Milky Way (MW) satellite that is massive enough to gravitationally attract the MW disc and inner halo, causing significant motion of the inner…

Auriga Streams I: disrupting satellites surrounding Milky Way-mass haloes at multiple resolutions

Alexander H. Riley, Nora Shipp, Christine M. Simpson +8

In a hierarchically formed Universe, galaxies accrete smaller systems that tidally disrupt as they evolve in the host's potential. We present a complete catalogue of disrupting gal…

AuriDESI: Mock Catalogues for the DESI Milky Way Survey

Namitha Kizhuprakkat, Andrew P. Cooper, Alexander H. Riley +31

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Milky Way Survey (DESI MWS) will explore the assembly history of the Milky Way by characterising remnants of ancient dwarf galaxy accretion…

An overlooked source of uncertainty in the mass of the Milky Way

Kyle A. Oman, Alexander H. Riley

In the conventional approach to decomposing a rotation curve into a set of contributions from mass model components, the measurements of the rotation curve at different radii are t…

Significant impact of Galactic dark matter particles on annihilation signals from Sagittarius analogues

Evan Vienneau, Addy J. Evans, Odelia V. Hartl +4

We examine the gamma-ray signal from dark matter (DM) annihilation from analogues of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the Auriga cosmological simulations. For veloc…

ARTEMIS emulator: exploring the effect of cosmology and galaxy formation physics on Milky Way-mass haloes and their satellites

Shaun T. Brown, Azadeh Fattahi, Ian G. McCarthy +3

We present the new ARTEMIS Emulator suite of high resolution (baryon mass of M) zoom-in simulations of Milky Way mass systems. Here, three ha…
