Kinematic signatures of impulsive supernova feedback in dwarf galaxies

Jan D. Burger, Jesús Zavala, Laura V. Sales +3

Impulsive supernova feedback and non-standard dark matter models, such as self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), are the two main contenders for the role of the dominant core formati…

Modeling globular clusters in the TNG50 simulation: predictions from dwarfs to giants

Jessica E. Doppel, Laura V. Sales, Dylan Nelson +9

We present a post-processing catalog of globular clusters (GCs) for the most massive groups and clusters in the TNG50 simulation of the IlllustrisTNG project (virial masses $M…

Origin and evolution of ultra-diffuse galaxies in different environments

Jose A. Benavides, Laura V. Sales, Mario. G. Abadi +3

We study the formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) using the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation TNG50 of the Illustris-TNG suite. We define UDGs as dwarf galaxies in the s…

Stellar Bars in Isolated Gas-Rich Spiral Galaxies Do Not Slow Down

Angus Beane, Lars Hernquist, Elena D'Onghia +6

Elongated bar-like features are ubiquitous in galaxies, occurring at the centers of approximately two-thirds of spiral disks in the nearby Universe. Due to gravitational interactio…

Baryonic solutions and challenges for cosmological models of dwarf galaxies

Laura V. Sales, Andrew Wetzel, Azadeh Fattahi

Galaxies and their dark-matter halos have posed several challenges to the Dark Energy plus Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) cosmological model. These discrepancies between observations and…

A Near-Infrared look at AGN Feedback in Bulgeless Galaxies

Thomas Bohn, Gabriela Canalizo, Shobita Satyapal +1

While it is generally believed that supermassive black holes (SMBH) lie in most galaxies with bulges, few SMBHs have been confirmed in bulgeless galaxies. Identifying such a popula…
