The survival of globular clusters in a cuspy Fornax

Shi Shao, Marius Cautun, Carlos S. Frenk +5

It has long been argued that the radial distribution of globular clusters (GCs) in the Fornax dwarf galaxy requires its dark matter halo to have a core of size kpc. We rev…

Linking globular cluster formation at low and high redshift through the age-metallicity relation in E-MOSAICS

Danny Horta, Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer +4

We set out to compare the age-metallicity relation (AMR) of massive clusters from Magellanic Cloud mass galaxies in the E-MOSAICS suite of numerical cosmological simulations with a…

An EAGLE's View of Ex-situ Galaxy Growth

Thomas A. Davison, Mark A. Norris, Joel L. Pfeffer +2

Modern observational and analytic techniques now enable the direct measurement of star formation histories and the inference of galaxy assembly histories. However, current theoreti…

Quenching and morphological evolution due to circumgalactic gas expulsion in a simulated galaxy with a controlled assembly history

Jonathan J. Davies, Robert A. Crain, Andrew Pontzen

We examine the influence of dark matter halo assembly on the evolution of a simulated galaxy. Starting from a zoom-in simulation of a star-forming galaxy evolved wit…

The changing circumgalactic medium over the last 10 Gyr I: physical and dynamical properties

Ezra Huscher, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Alice Lonardi +3

We present an analysis of the physical and dynamical states of two sets of EAGLE zoom simulations of galaxy haloes, one at high redshift () and the other at low redshift ($z…

Where did the globular clusters of the Milky Way form? Insights from the E-MOSAICS simulations

Benjamin W. Keller, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Joel Pfeffer +5

Globular clusters (GCs) are typically old, with most having formed at z >~ 2. This makes understanding their birth environments difficult, as they are typically too distant to obse…
