Subhalo Demographics in the Illustris Simulation: Effects of Baryons and Halo-to-Halo Variation
Kun Ting Eddie Chua, Annalisa Pillepich, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez +3
We study the abundance of subhaloes in the hydrodynamical cosmological simulation Illustris, which includes both baryons and dark matter in a CDM volume 106.5 Mpc a side. We com…
The information content of stellar halos: Stellar population gradients and accretion histories in early-type Illustris galaxies
B. A. Cook, C. Conroy, A. Pillepich +2
Long dynamical timescales in the outskirts of galaxies preserve the information content of their accretion histories, for example in the form of stellar population gradients. We pr…
The role of mergers and halo spin in shaping galaxy morphology
Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Laura V. Sales, Shy Genel +10
Mergers and the spin of the dark matter halo are factors traditionally believed to determine the morphology of galaxies within a CDM cosmology. We study this hypothesis by consi…
Simulating galaxy formation with black hole driven thermal and kinetic feedback
Rainer Weinberger, Volker Springel, Lars Hernquist +8
The inefficiency of star formation in massive elliptical galaxies is widely believed to be caused by the interactions of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with the surrounding gas.…
Shock finding on a moving-mesh: II. Hydrodynamic shocks in the Illustris universe
Kevin Schaal, Volker Springel, Rüdiger Pakmor +7
Hydrodynamical shocks are a manifestation of the non-linearity of the Euler equations and play a fundamental role in cosmological gas dynamics. In this work, we identify and analys…
