LYRA ultra-faints: The emergence of faint dwarf galaxies in the presence of an early Lyman-Werner background
Shaun T. Brown, Azadeh Fattahi, Thales A. Gutcke +6
We present a suite of zoom-in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of dwarf galaxies using the LYRA galaxy formation model with an extremely high mass resolution of $4\, \mathrm…
Age and metallicity of low-mass galaxies: from their centres to their stellar halos
Elisa A. Tau, Antonela Monachesi, Facundo A. Gómez +5
We aim to analyse the metallicity and the ages of the stellar halos of low-mass galaxies to better understand their formation history. We use 17 simulated low-mass galaxies from th…
The SEEDZ Simulations: Methodology and First Results on Massive Black Hole Seeding and Early Galaxy Growth
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13
Here we introduce the SEEDZ simulations, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations exploring the formation and growth of the first massive black holes in the Universe. SEEDZ…
Effective cosmic ray diffusion in multiphase galactic environments
Timon Thomas, Christoph Pfrommer, Rüdiger Pakmor +2
Cosmic-ray (CR) feedback is widely recognized as a key regulator of galaxy formation. After being accelerated at supernova remnant shocks, CRs propagate through the interstellar me…
Violent mergers can explain the inflated state of some of the fastest stars in the Galaxy
Aakash Bhat, Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen +2
A significant number of hypervelocity stars with velocities between km/s have recently been observed. The only plausible explanation so far is that they have been produ…
Violent mergers revisited: The origin of the fastest stars in the Galaxy
Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen, Aakash Bhat +12
Binary systems of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are one of the most promising candidates for the progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae. Violent mergers, where the primary white…
