Predictions for the X-ray circumgalactic medium of edge-on discs and spheroids

Anna Nica, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Robert A. Crain +5

We investigate how the X-ray circumgalactic medium (CGM) of present-day galaxies depends on galaxy morphology and azimuthal angle using mock observations generated from the EAGLE c…

The physics governing the upper truncation mass of the globular cluster mass function

Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer, Nate Bastian +5

The mass function of globular cluster (GC) populations is a fundamental observable that encodes the physical conditions under which these massive stellar clusters formed and evolve…

Metal-enriched halo gas across galaxy overdensities over the last 10 billion years

Rajeshwari Dutta, Michele Fumagalli, Matteo Fossati +15

We present a study of metal-enriched halo gas traced by MgII and CIV absorption at z<2 in the MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies survey and the Quasar Sightline and Galaxy Evolut…

Globular clusters as tracers of the dark matter halo: insights from the E-MOSAICS simulations

Marta Reina-Campos, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Alis J. Deason +5

Globular clusters (GCs) are bright objects that span a wide range of galactocentric distances, and are thus probes of the structure of dark matter (DM) haloes. In this work, we exp…

The morphology of star-forming gas and its alignment with galaxies and dark matter haloes in the EAGLE simulations

Alexander D. Hill, Robert A. Crain, Juliana Kwan +1

We present measurements of the morphology of star-forming gas in galaxies from the EAGLE simulations, and its alignment relative to stars and dark matter (DM). Imaging of such gas…

What to expect when using globular clusters as tracers of the total mass distribution in Milky Way-mass galaxies

Meghan E. Hughes, Prashin Jethwa, Michael Hilker +8

Dynamical models allow us to connect the motion of a set of tracers to the underlying gravitational potential, and thus to the total (luminous and dark) matter distribution. They a…
