One-Two Quench: A Double Minor Merger Scenario
N. Nicole Sanchez, Michael Tremmel, Jessica K. Werk +5
Using the N-body+Smoothed particle hydrodynamics code, ChaNGa, we identify two merger-driven processes\textemdash disk disruption and supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback\textem…
Ultra-faint dwarfs in a Milky Way context: Introducing the Mint Condition DC Justice League Simulations
Elaad Applebaum, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte R. Christensen +4
We present results from the "Mint" resolution DC Justice League suite of Milky Way-like zoom-in cosmological simulations, which extend our study of nearby galaxies down into the ul…
Quenching timescales of dwarf satellites around Milky Way-mass hosts
Hollis B. Akins, Charlotte R. Christensen, Alyson M. Brooks +4
Observations of the low-mass satellites in the Local Group have shown high fractions of gas-poor, quiescent galaxies relative to isolated dwarfs, implying that the host halo enviro…
Inside Out and Upside-Down: The Roles of Gas Cooling and Dynamical Heating in Shaping the Stellar Age-Velocity Relation
Jonathan C. Bird, Sarah R. Loebman, David H. Weinberg +3
Kinematic studies of disk galaxies, using individual stars in the Milky Way or statistical studies of global disk kinematics over time, provide insight into how disks form and evol…
