The Origin of Disks and Spheroids in Simulated Galaxies
Laura V. Sales, Julio F. Navarro, Tom Theuns +5
In the simplest scenario, disk galaxies form predominantly in halos with high angular momentum and quiet recent assembly history, whereas spheroids are the slowly-rotating remnants…
The Aquila comparison Project: The Effects of Feedback and Numerical Methods on Simulations of Galaxy Formation
C. Scannapieco, M. Wadepuhl, O. H. Parry +20
We compare the results of thirteen cosmological gasdynamical codes used to simulate the formation of a galaxy in the LCDM structure formation paradigm. The various runs differ in t…
Global structure and kinematics of stellar haloes in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
Ian G. McCarthy, Andreea S. Font, Robert A. Crain +3
We use the Galaxies-Intergalactic Medium Interaction Calculation (GIMIC) suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to study the global structure and kinematics of stellar sp…
Cosmological simulations of the formation of the stellar haloes around disc galaxies
Andreea S. Font, Ian G. McCarthy, Robert A. Crain +4
We use the Galaxies-Intergalactic Medium Interaction Calculation (GIMIC) suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to study the formation of stellar spheroids of Milky Way-m…
Mismatch and Misalignment: Dark Haloes and Satellites of Disc Galaxies
A. J. Deason, I. G. McCarthy, A. S. Font +6
(Abridged) We study the phase-space distribution of satellite galaxies associated with late-type galaxies in the GIMIC suite of simulations. GIMIC consists of re-simulations of 5 c…
