The distribution and origin of metals in simulated Milky Way-like galaxies
Federico G. Iza, Cecilia Scannapieco, Sebastián E. Nuza +6
In this study, we investigate the distribution and origin of chemical elements in different stellar components of simulated Milky Way-like galaxies in relation to their mass assemb…
Auriga Superstars: Improving the resolution and fidelity of stellar dynamics in cosmological galaxy simulations
Ruediger Pakmor, Francesca Fragkoudi, Robert J. J. Grand +7
Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations have become an indispensable tool to understand galaxies. However, computational constraints still severely limit their numerical resolution…
The formation and evolution of Supermassive disks in IllustrisTNG
Diego Pallero, Gaspar Galaz, Patricia B. Tissera +4
Supermassive disks are outstanding galaxies whose formation and evolution are still poorly understood. They comprise a large variety of objects, ranging from large, low-surface-bri…
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…
Stream Automatic Detection with Convolutional Neural Network (SAD-CNN)
Alex Vera-Casanova., Nicolas Monsalves Gonzalez, Facundo A. Gómez +8
Context. Galactic halos host faint substructures, such as stellar streams and shells, which provide insights into the hierarchical assembly history of galaxies. To date, such featu…
