Under the Firelight: Stellar Tracers of the Local Dark Matter Velocity Distribution in the Milky Way

Lina Necib, Mariangela Lisanti, Shea Garrison-Kimmel +5

The Gaia era opens new possibilities for discovering the remnants of disrupted satellite galaxies in the Solar neighborhood. If the population of local accreted stars is correlated…

HALO7D II: The Halo Velocity Ellipsoid and Velocity Anisotropy with Distant Main Sequence Stars

Emily C. Cunningham, Alis J. Deason, Robyn E. Sanderson +7

The Halo Assembly in Lambda-CDM: Observations in 7 Dimensions (HALO7D) dataset consists of Keck II/DEIMOS spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope-measured proper motions of Milky W…

The Local Group on FIRE: Dwarf galaxy populations across a suite of hydrodynamic simulations

Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel +8

We present a new set of high-resolution hydrodynamic cosmological zoom-in simulations that apply the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) physics to both Local Group (LG)-like…

Synthetic Gaia surveys from the FIRE cosmological simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies

Robyn E. Sanderson, Andrew Wetzel, Sarah Loebman +6

With Gaia Data Release 2, the astronomical community is entering a new era of multidimensional surveys of the Milky Way. This new phase-space view of our Galaxy demands new tools f…

Formation, vertex deviation and age of the Milky Way's bulge: input from a cosmological simulation with a late-forming bar

Victor P. Debattista, Oscar A. Gonzalez, Robyn E. Sanderson +5

We present the late-time evolution of m12m, a cosmological simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy from the FIRE project. The simulation forms a bar after redshift z = 0.2. We show t…

Predicting the binary black hole population of the Milky Way with cosmological simulations

Astrid Lamberts, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Philip Hopkins +7

Binary black holes are the primary endpoint of massive stellar evolution. Their properties provide a unique opportunity to constrain binary evolution, which is still poorly underst…
