The Environmental Quenching Mechanisms of Field Dwarf Galaxies
José A. Benavides, Julio F. Navarro, Laura V. Sales +2
Field dwarf galaxies not actively forming stars are relatively rare in the local Universe, but are present in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We use the TNG50 simulation t…
An evolutionary continuum from nucleated dwarf galaxies to star clusters
Kaixiang Wang, Eric W. Peng, Chengze Liu +21
Systematic studies have revealed hundreds of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the nearby Universe. With half-light radii of approximately 10-100 parsecs and stellar mas…
Imposters among us: globular cluster kinematics and the halo mass of ultra-diffuse galaxies in clusters
Jessica E. Doppel, Laura V. Sales, José A. Benavides +4
The velocity dispersion of globular clusters (GCs) around ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Virgo cluster spans a wide range, including cases where GC kinematics suggest halos a…
The progenitors of the intra-cluster light and intra-cluster globular clusters in galaxy groups and clusters
Niusha Ahvazi, Laura V. Sales, Jessica E. Doppel +3
We use the IllustrisTNG50 cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, complemented by a catalog of tagged globular clusters, to investigate the properties and build up of two extended…
A comprehensive model for the formation and evolution of the faintest Milky Way dwarf satellites
Niusha Ahvazi, Andrew Benson, Laura V. Sales +4
In this study, we modify the semi-analytic model Galacticus in order to accurately reproduce the observed properties of dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way. We find that reproducing ob…
Galactic coronae in Milky Way-like galaxies: the role of stellar feedback in gas accretion
Filippo Barbani, Raffaele Pascale, Federico Marinacci +4
Star-forming galaxies like the Milky Way are surrounded by a hot gaseous halo at the virial temperature - the so-called galactic corona - that plays a fundamental role in their evo…
