The Destruction of Thin Stellar Disks Via Cosmologically Common Satellite Accretion Events
Chris W. Purcell, Stelios Kazantzidis, James S. Bullock
Most Galaxy-sized systems (M_host ~ 10^12 M_sun) in the LCDM cosmology are expected to have accreted at least one satellite with a total mass M_sat ~ 10^11 M_sun = 3M_disk in the p…
The Assembly of Galaxy Clusters
Joel C. Berrier, Kyle R. Stewart, James S. Bullock +3
We study the formation of fifty-three galaxy cluster-size dark matter halos formed within a pair of cosmological LCDM N-body simulations, and track the accretion histories of clust…
Stellar populations across the NGC4244 truncated galactic disk
Roelof S. de Jong, A. C. Seth, D. J. Radburn-Smith +12
We use HST/ACS to study the resolved stellar populations of the nearby, nearly edge-on galaxy NGC4244 across its outer disk surface density break. The stellar photometry allows us…
GHOSTS: The Resolved Stellar Outskirts of Massive Disk Galaxies
Roelof S. de Jong, A. C. Seth, E. F. Bell +10
We show initial results from our ongoing HST GHOSTS survey of the resolved stellar envelopes of 14 nearby, massive disk galaxies. In hierarchical galaxy formation the stellar halos…
