A jolt to the system: ram pressure on low-mass galaxies in simulations of the Local Group
Jenna Samuel, Bhavya Pardasani, Andrew Wetzel +4
Low-mass galaxies are highly susceptible to environmental effects that can efficiently quench star formation. We explore the role of ram pressure in quenching low-mass galaxies ($M…
Number-Resolved Detection of Dark Ions in Coulomb Crystals
Fabian Schmid, Johannes Weitenberg, Jorge Moreno +3
While it is straightforward to count laser-cooled trapped ions by fluorescence imaging, detecting the number of dark ions embedded and sympathetically cooled in a mixed ion crystal…
Born this way: thin disc, thick disc, and isotropic spheroid formation in FIRE-2 Milky-Way-mass galaxy simulations
Sijie Yu, James S. Bullock, Alexander B. Gurvich +7
We investigate the formation of Milky-Way-mass galaxies using FIRE-2 LCDM cosmological zoom-in simulations by studying the orbital evolution of stars formed in the main progenitor…
Investigating the Effect of Galaxy Interactions on Star Formation at 0.5<z<3.0
Ekta A. Shah, Jeyhan S. Kartaltepe, Christina T. Magagnoli +24
Observations and simulations of interacting galaxies and mergers in the local universe have shown that interactions can significantly enhance the star formation rates (SFR) and fue…
Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE
Nora Shipp, Nondh Panithanpaisal, Lina Necib +18
We present the first detailed study comparing the populations of stellar streams in cosmological simulations to observed Milky Way dwarf galaxy streams. In particular, we compare s…
The observability of galaxy merger signatures in nearby gas-rich spirals
Rebecca McElroy, Connor Bottrell, Maan H. Hani +8
Galaxy mergers are crucial to understanding galaxy evolution, therefore we must determine their observational signatures to select them from large IFU galaxy samples such as MUSE a…
