Constraining Sub-Grid Physics with High-Redshift Spatially-Resolved Metallicity Distributions
B. K. Gibson, K. Pilkington, C. B. Brook +2
We examine the role of energy feedback in shaping the distribution of metals within cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of L* disc galaxies. While negative abundance gradients…
The wobbly Galaxy: kinematics north and south with RAVE red clump giants
M. E. K. Williams, M. Steinmetz, J. Binney +23
The RAVE survey, combined with proper motions and distance estimates, can be used to study in detail stellar kinematics in the extended solar neighbourhood (solar suburb). Using th…
Chemical Evolution of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal
K. Pilkington, B. K. Gibson
We explore a range of chemical evolution models for the Local Group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, Carina. A novel aspect of our work is the removal of the star formation history…
Kinematic groups beyond the Solar neighbourhood with RAVE
T. Antoja, A. Helmi, O. Bienayme +18
We analyse the kinematics of disc stars observed by the RAVE survey in and beyond the Solar neighbourhood.We detect significant overdensities in the velocity distributions using a…
The Distribution of Young Stars and Metals in Simulated Cosmological Disk Galaxies
K. Pilkington, B. K. Gibson, D. H. Jones
We examine the distribution of young stars associated with the spiral arms of a simulated L* cosmological disk galaxy. We find age patterns orthogonal to the arms which are not inc…
Metallicity Gradients in Simulated Disk Galaxies
K. Pilkington, B. K. Gibson
The stellar metallicity and abundance ratio gradients from the fiducial late-type galaxy simulation of Stinson et al. (2010) are presented. Over 1-3 scalelengths, gradients are sho…
