Extragalactic Stellar Streams in Time-Dependent Cosmological Halos

Sarah Pearson, Jacob Nibauer, Emily C. Cunningham +4

Upcoming and ongoing surveys will detect thousands of stellar streams around galaxies other than the Milky Way. Studies from the Milky Way have shown that time-dependent evolution…

The Milky Way's Missing In-Situ Halo

Madeline Lucey, Robyn E. Sanderson, Alexander H. Riley +3

The Milky Way's stellar halo preserves a record of its mass assembly history, encoding accretion events in its structural properties. Among the most prominent of these features is…

The Dynamics of Old Inner Galaxy Stars in Milky Way-mass Galaxies Using FIRE-2 Simulations

Emma Tasso, Madeline Lucey, Robyn Sanderson +2

Understanding how galaxies like the Milky Way assembled over cosmic time remains a central question in astrophysics. Understanding the processes that shaped their formation and evo…

Mergers Matter: Gravothermal Collapse in Dwarf Halos with Self-Interacting Dark Matter

Maya Silverman, Abdelaziz Hussein, Arpit Arora +8

Self-Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM) models with large cross sections at relative velocities below can be tested with dwarf galaxy observations. We ana…

Self-consistent dynamical modelling of the Milky Way bar with orbital frequency analysis

Zachary Langford, Robyn Sanderson, Madeline Lucey +1

We present an update to the frequency analysis method for measuring the properties of a galactic bar. The method involves computing the fundamental frequencies of orbits in rotatin…

Probing Atomic Dark Matter with Stellar Streams in Milky Way-Mass Galaxies

Lucas S. Mandacarú Guerra, Stephanie O'Neil, Mariangela Lisanti +7

We present the first detailed analysis of the effects of dissipative dark matter on stellar streams. As a concrete example, we generate a cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulati…
