Simulations of Recoiling Massive Black Holes in the Via Lactea Halo
Javiera Guedes, Piero Madau, Micheal Kuhlen +2
The coalescence of a massive black hole (MBH) binary leads to the gravitational-wave recoil of the system and its ejection from the galaxy core. We have carried out N-body simulati…
The Role of Dwarf Galaxies in Building Large Stellar Halos
Evan N. Kirby, Puragra Guhathakurta, James S. Bullock +10
The hierarchical theory of galaxy formation rests on the idea that smaller galactic structures merge to form the galaxies that we see today. The past decade has provided remarkable…
Massive Black Hole Recoil in High Resolution Hosts
Javiera Guedes, Jürg Diemand, Marcel Zemp +4
The final inspiral and coalescence of a black hole binary can produce highly beamed gravitational wave radiation. To conserve linear momentum, the black hole remnant can recoil wit…
The Graininess of Dark Matter Haloes
Marcel Zemp, Jürg Diemand, Michael Kuhlen +5
We use the recently completed one billion particle Via Lactea II LambdaCDM simulation to investigate local properties like density, mean velocity, velocity dispersion, anisotropy,…
Fossil remnants of reionization in the halo of the Milky Way
P. Madau, M. Kuhlen, J. Diemand +4
Our recently completed one billion particle Via Lactea II simulation of a Milky Way-sized dark matter halo resolves over 50,000 gravitationally bound clumps orbiting today within t…
A multiphysics and multiscale software environment for modeling astrophysical systems
Simon Portegies Zwart, Steve McMillan, Stefan Harfst +2
We present MUSE, a software framework for combining existing computational tools for different astrophysical domains into a single multiphysics, multiscale application. MUSE facili…
