The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX - Part 2: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on the Stellar Morphology of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor

Thinh Huu Nguyen, Kirk S. S. Barrow, Minyong Jung +23

Galaxy mergers, with their high sensitivity to initial conditions, provide a valuable setting for comparative studies of galaxy simulation codes. Following our first paper focusing…

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX - Part 1: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on Star Formation of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor

Thinh Huu Nguyen, Kirk S. S. Barrow, Minyong Jung +23

Given their highly nonlinear dynamics and sensitivity to initial conditions, galaxy mergers are a compelling area to conduct a simulation code comparison. We perform a comparative…

Alignment of the Milky Way and M31 with their cosmic environment. New insights from constrained Local Group simulations

Hanneke C. Woudenberg, Amina Helmi, Ewoud Wempe +4

The large-scale environment is thought to play an important role in setting galaxy properties. The Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) reside in the Local Group, embedded in the Loc…

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. XI: Solving the Non-Spherical Morphology and Evolution of Dark Matter Halos with Haskap Pie

Kirk S. S. Barrow, Thinh Huu Nguyen, Santi Roca-Fàbrega +26

We introduce a halo solving and tracking procedure that intrinsically treats dark matter halos as non-spherical objects by leveraging the bound particle searching techniques used i…

The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project VII: Satellite quenching in zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass halo

R. Rodríguez-Cardoso, S. Roca-Fàbrega, Minyong Jung +19

Context: Satellite galaxies experience multiple physical processes when interacting with their host halos, often leading to the quenching of star formation. In the Local Group (LG)…

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. VI. Similarities and Differences in the Circumgalactic Medium

Clayton Strawn, Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Joel R. Primack +26

We analyze the circumgalactic medium (CGM) for eight commonly-used cosmological codes in the AGORA collaboration. The codes are calibrated to use identical initial conditions, cosm…
