Dwarf diversity in CDM with baryons
Akaxia Cruz, Alyson Brooks, Mariangela Lisanti +7
Observed rotation curves of dwarf galaxies exhibit significant diversity at fixed halo mass, challenging galaxy formation within the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model. Previous cosmolog…
Optimized smoothing kernels for SPH
Robert Wissing, Thomas R. Quinn, Ben Keller +2
We present a set of new smoothing kernels for smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) that improve the convergence of the method without any additional computational cost. These kern…
Marvelous Metals: Surveying the Circumgalactic Medium of Simulated Dwarf Galaxies
Daniel R. Piacitelli, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte Christensen +7
Dwarf galaxies are uniquely sensitive to energetic feedback processes and are known to experience substantial mass and metal loss from their disk. Here, we investigate the circumga…
Predictions for Detecting a Turndown in the Baryonic Tully Fisher Relation
Dilys Ruan, Alyson M. Brooks, Akaxia Cruz +5
The baryonic Tully Fisher relation (bTFR) provides an empirical connection between baryonic mass and dynamical mass (measured by the maximum rotation velocity) for galaxies. Due to…
A MARVEL-ous study of how well galaxy shapes reflect Dark Matter halo shapes in Cold Dark Matter Simulations
Blake Keith, Ferah Munshi, Alyson M. Brooks +6
We present a 3D shape analysis of both dark matter (DM) and stellar matter (SM) in simulated dwarf galaxies to determine whether stellar shape traces DM shape. Using 80 central and…
