Evaluating Galactic Habitability Using High Resolution Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Formation
Duncan Forgan, Pratika Dayal, Charles Cockell +1
We present the first model that couples high-resolution simulations of the formation of Local Group galaxies with calculations of the galactic habitable zone (GHZ), a region of spa…
Properties of Galaxies in the Disc Central Surface Brightness Gap
Jenny G. Sorce, Peter Creasey, Noam I. Libeskind
Intermediate surface brightness (ISB) galaxies are less numerous than their counterparts at high and low surface brightness (HSB and LSB). Investigating ISB characteristics from a…
Two Planes of Satellites in the Centaurus A Group
R. Brent Tully, Noam I. Libeskind, Igor D. Karachentsev +3
Tip of the red giant branch measurements based on Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based imaging have resulted in accurate distances to 29 galaxies in the nearby Centaurus A Group…
Planes of satellite galaxies and the cosmic web
Noam I. Libeskind, Yehuda Hoffman, R. Brent Tully +4
Recent observational studies have demonstrated that the majority of satellite galaxies tend to orbit their hosts on highly flattened, vast, possibly co-rotating planes. Two nearly…
Vast planes of satellites in a high resolution simulation of the Local Group: comparison to Andromeda
N. Gillet, P. Ocvirk, D. Aubert +5
We search for vast planes of satellites (VPoS) in a high resolution simulation of the Local Group performed by the CLUES project, which improves significantly the resolution of for…
