When Should We Treat Galaxies as Isolated?
Philip F. Hopkins, Dusan Keres, Chung-Pei Ma +1
Traditionally, secular evolution is defined as evolution of systems where the internal growth of structure and instabilities dominates the growth via external drivers (e.g. accreti…
Substructure depletion in the Milky Way halo by the disk
Elena D'Onghia, Volker Springel, Lars Hernquist +1
We employ numerical simulations and simple analytical estimates to argue that dark matter substructures orbiting in the inner regions of the Galaxy can be efficiently destroyed by…
Seeding the formation of cold gaseous clouds in Milky Way size halos
Dušan Kereš, Lars Hernquist
We use one of the highest resolution cosmological SPH simulations to date to demonstrate that cold gaseous clouds form around Milky Way size galaxies. We further explore mechanisms…
Mergers and Bulge Formation in Lambda-CDM: Which Mergers Matter?
Philip F. Hopkins, Kevin Bundy, Darren Croton +6
We use a suite of semi-empirical models to predict galaxy merger rates and contributions to bulge growth as functions of merger mass, redshift, and mass ratio. The models use empir…
How do Galaxies Accrete Gas and Form Stars?
M. E. Putman, P. Henning, A. Bolatto +42
Great strides have been made in the last two decades in determining how galaxies evolve from their initial dark matter seeds to the complex structures we observe at z=0. The role o…
