The Role of Dark Matter in Driving Disk Perturbations: Application to LMC-SMC Like Galaxy Interactions

Himansh Rathore, Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla +6

Dark-matter (DM) models predict that satellite galaxies distort their host's DM halo. As such, both the satellite and the distorted halo can perturb the host's stellar disk. The LM…

Shaping the Milky Way. II. The dark matter halo's response to the LMC's passage in a cosmological context

Elise Darragh-Ford, Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Arpit Arora +15

The distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way (MW) is expected to exhibit a large-scale dynamical response to the recent infall of the LMC. This event produces a dynamical frict…

Shaping the Milky Way: The interplay of mergers and cosmic filaments

Arpit Arora, Nicolás Garavito-Camargo, Robyn E. Sanderson +12

The large-scale morphology of Milky Way (MW)-mass dark matter (DM) halos is shaped by two key processes: filamentary accretion from the cosmic web and interactions with massive sat…

Lopsidedness as a tracer of early galactic assembly history

Arianna Dolfi, Facundo A. Gomez, Antonela Monachesi +4

Large-scale asymmetries (i.e. lopsidedness) are a common feature in the stellar density distribution of nearby disk galaxies both in low- and high-density environments. In this wor…

Lopsided Galaxies in a cosmological context: a new galaxy-halo connection

Silvio Varela-Lavin, Facundo A. Gómez, Patricia B. Tissera +4

Disc galaxies commonly show asymmetric features in their morphology, such as warps and lopsidedness. These features can provide key information regarding the recent evolution of a…

Exploring the outskirts of the EAGLE disc galaxies

Silvio Varela-Lavin, Patricia B. Tissera, Facundo A. Gómez +2

Observations show that the surface brightness of disc galaxies can be well-described by a single exponential (TI), up-bending (TIII) or down-bending (TII) profiles in the outskirts…
