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…
Spiral Structure Properties, Dynamics, and Evolution in MW-mass Galaxy Simulations
J. R. Quinn, S. R. Loebman, K. J. Daniel +8
The structure of spiral galaxies is essential to understanding the dynamics and evolution of disk galaxies; however, the precise nature of spiral arms remains uncertain. Two challe…
Response of the LMC's Bar to a Recent SMC Collision and Implications for the SMC's Dark Matter Profile
Himansh Rathore, Gurtina Besla, Kathryne J. Daniel +1
The LMC's stellar bar is offset from the outer disk center, tilted from the disk plane, and does not drive gas inflows. These properties are atypical of bars in gas-rich galaxies,…
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…
