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…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal): IV. On the inner Milky Way stellar age distribution
Tomás Ruiz-Lara, David Mirabal, Carme Gallart +15
The Milky Way's inner region is dominated by a stellar bar and a boxy-peanut shaped bulge. However, which stellar populations inhabit the inner Galaxy or how star formation proceed…
Quantifying the intrinsic variability due to randomness of the Auriga galaxy formation model
Ruediger Pakmor, Rebekka Bieri, Francesca Fragkoudi +6
Numerical simulations have become an indispensable tool in astrophysics. To interpret their results, it is critical to understand their intrinsic variability, that is, how much the…
Formation and evolution of boxy/peanut bulges in the Auriga cosmological simulations
Paula D. López, Francesca Fragkoudi, Sofía A. Cora +5
Boxy/peanut (b/p) or X-shaped bulges have been extensively explored with theory and numerical simulations of isolated galaxies. However, it is only recently that advances in hydrod…
Structure, Kinematics, and Observability of the Large Magellanic Cloud's Dynamical Friction Wake in Cold vs. Fuzzy Dark Matter
Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla, Philip Mocz +7
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) will induce a dynamical friction (DF) wake on infall to the Milky Way (MW). The MW's stellar halo will respond to the gravity of the LMC and the da…
Exploring the diversity and similarity of radially anisotropic Milky Way-like stellar haloes: implications for disrupted dwarf galaxy searches
Matthew D. A. Orkney, Chervin F. P. Laporte, Robert J. J. Grand +7
We investigate the properties of mergers comparable to the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies. The merger progeni…
The impact of the Large Magellanic Cloud on dark matter direct detection signals
Adam Smith-Orlik, Nima Ronaghi, Nassim Bozorgnia +9
We study the effect of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) on the dark matter (DM) distribution in the Solar neighborhood, utilizing the Auriga magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of M…
An ever-present snail shell triggered by a dark matter wake
Robert J. J. Grand, Rüdiger Pakmor, Francesca Fragkoudi +5
We utilize a novel numerical technique to model star formation in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation - called Superstars - to simulate a Milky Way-like galaxy with $\gtrs…
