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…
