Co-evolution of Supermassive Black Holes and their Host L* galaxies: implications for Milky Way and M31
Salvador E. Grimozzi, Maria Emilia De Rossi, Andreea S. Font
We investigate the origin of the scatter in the supermassive black hole (BH) masses for galaxies in the L* regime, using the ARTEMIS and EAGLE simulations. By classifying galaxies…
Implications of a contracted dark matter halo for the Milky Way's inferred virial mass
Diego Dado, Shaun T. Brown, Azadeh Fattahi +2
We investigate how reliably the global properties of Milky Way-mass dark matter haloes can be recovered from dynamical data over a limited radial range, particularly $\lesssim 30~\…
A simulation-based inference of the Milky Way merger history
Andrea Sante, Andreea S. Font, Daisuke Kawata +2
Accreted stars in the Milky Way (MW) preserve information about the progenitor galaxies where they formed in their chemical and kinematic properties. In this study, we use the chem…
Optimized HDBSCAN clustering for reconstructing the merger history of the Milky Way: applications and limitations
Andrea Sante, Andreea S. Font, Dharmesh Mistry +2
Clustering algorithms can help reconstruct the assembly history of the Milky Way by identifying groups of stars sharing similar properties in a kinematical or chemical abundance sp…
Measuring and modelling the Splash with APOGEE/Gaia and ARTEMIS
Shobhit Kisku, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Andreea S. Font +6
Using combined data from SDSS-IV/APOGEE and Gaia, we study the chemo-dynamical properties of the Splash population in comparison with those of the high-alpha disc. We investigate a…
Disrupted and surviving satellites of Milky-Way-mass galaxies: connecting their properties with their host accretion histories
S. Grimozzi, M. E. De Rossi, A. S. Font
Two populations of dwarf galaxies can be associated with the Milky Way (MW): the disrupted dwarfs that fully merged with it in the past and the surviving satellites that orbit arou…
