Light versus dark in strong-lens galaxies: Dark matter haloes that are rounder than their stars
Claudio Bruderer, Justin I. Read, Jonathan P. Coles +4
We measure the projected density profile, shape and alignment of the stellar and dark matter mass distribution in 11 strong-lens galaxies. We find that the projected dark matter de…
A Semi-Analytic dynamical friction model that reproduces core stalling
James A. Petts, Alessia Gualandris, Justin I. Read
We present a new semi-analytic model for dynamical friction based on Chandrasekhar's formalism. The key novelty is the introduction of physically motivated, radially varying, maxim…
The Magellanic Inter-Cloud Project (MAGIC) II: Slicing up the Bridge
Noelia E. D. Noel, Blair C. Conn, Justin I. Read +3
The origin of the gas in between the Magellanic Clouds (MCs), known as the Magellanic Bridge (MB), has always been the subject of controversy. To shed light into this, we present t…
A low pre-infall mass for the Carina dwarf galaxy from disequilibrium modelling
Uğur Ural, Mark I. Wilkinson, Justin I. Read +1
Dark matter only simulations of galaxy formation predict many more subhalos around a Milky Way like galaxy than the number of observed satellites. Proposed solutions require the sa…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: a quiescent Milky Way with no significant dark/stellar accreted disc
G. R. Ruchti, J. I. Read, S. Feltzing +26
According to our current cosmological model, galaxies like the Milky Way are expected to experience many mergers over their lifetimes. The most massive of the merging galaxies will…
Multiple populations in globular clusters: the distinct kinematic imprints of different formation scenarios
Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Mark Gieles, Oscar Agertz +1
Several scenarios have been proposed to explain the presence of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters. Many of them invoke multiple generations of stars to explain the…
Milking the spherical cow: on aspherical dynamics in spherical coordinates
Andrew Pontzen, Justin Read, Romain Teyssier +4
Galaxies and the dark matter halos that host them are not spherically symmetric, yet spherical symmetry is a helpful simplifying approximation for idealised calculations and analys…
