Orbital structure of merger remnants: Trends with gas fraction in 1:1 mergers
Loren Hoffman, Thomas J. Cox, Suvendra Dutta +1
Since the violent relaxation in hierarchical merging is incomplete, elliptical galaxies retain a wealth of information about their formation pathways in their present-day orbital s…
A Measurement of Small Scale Structure in the 2.2 < z < 4.2 Lyman-alpha Forest
Adam Lidz, C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, Aldo Dall'Aglio +5
The amplitude of fluctuations in the Ly-a forest on small spatial scales is sensitive to the temperature of the IGM and its spatial fluctuations. The temperature of the IGM and its…
The imprint of dissipation on the shapes of merger remnant LOSVDs
Loren K. Hoffman, Thomas J. Cox, Suvendra N. Dutta +1
The properties of elliptical galaxies are broadly consistent with simulated remnants of gas-rich mergers between spirals, motivating more detailed studies of the imprint of this fo…
HeII Reionization and its Effect on the IGM
Matthew McQuinn, Adam Lidz, Matias Zaldarriaga +4
Observations of the intergalactic medium (IGM) suggest that quasars reionize HeII in the IGM at z ~ 3. We have run a set of 190 and 430 comoving Mpc simulations of HeII being reion…
Dissipation and Extra Light in Galactic Nuclei: II. 'Cusp' Ellipticals
Philip F. Hopkins, Thomas J. Cox, Suvendra N. Dutta +3
We study the origin and properties of 'extra' or 'excess' central light in the surface brightness profiles of cusp or power-law ellipticals. Dissipational mergers give rise to two-…
Dissipation and Extra Light in Galactic Nuclei: I. Gas-Rich Merger Remnants
Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +2
We study the origin and properties of 'extra' or 'excess' central light in the surface brightness profiles of gas-rich merger remnants. Combining a large set of hydrodynamical simu…
