MUSE-ings on AM1354-250: Collisions, Shocks and Rings
Blair C. Conn, L. M. R. Fogarty, Rory Smith +1
We present MUSE observations of AM1354-250, confirming its status as a collisional ring galaxy which has recently undergone an interaction, creating its distinctive shape. We analy…
Origin of the Metallicity Distribution in the Thick Disc
Maider S. Miranda, Kate Pilkington, Brad K. Gibson +9
Aims. Using a suite of cosmological chemodynamical disc galaxy simulations, we assess how (a) radial metallicity gradients evolve with scaleheight; (b) the vertical metallicity gra…
A Formation Scenario for the Disk of Satellites: Accretion of Satellites during Mergers
Rory Smith, Pierre-Alain Duc, Frederic Bournaud +1
The Disk of Satellites (DoS) observed in the Andromeda galaxy is a thin and extended group of satellites, nearly perpendicular to the disk plane, that share a common direction of r…
The Sensitivity of Harassment to Orbit: Mass Loss from Early-Type Dwarfs in Galaxy Clusters
Rory Smith, Ruben Sanchez-Janssen, Michael A. Beasley +11
We conduct a comprehensive numerical study of the orbital dependence of harassment on early-type dwarfs consisting of 168 different orbits within a realistic, Virgo-like cluster, v…
Demographics of Isolated Galaxies Along the Hubble Sequence
Hong-geun Khim, Jongwon Park, Seong-Woo Seo +3
Isolated galaxies in low-density regions are significant in the sense that they are least affected by the hierarchical pattern of galaxy growth, and interactions with perturbers, a…
Simple and accurate modelling of the gravitational potential produced by thick and thin exponential disks
Rory Smith, Chris Flynn, Graeme N. Candlish +2
We present accurate models of the gravitational potential produced by a radially exponential disk mass distribution. The models are produced by combining three separate Miyamoto-Na…
BUDHIES II: A phase-space view of HI gas stripping and star-formation quenching in cluster galaxies
Yara L. Jaffe, Rory Smith, Graeme N. Candlish +3
We investigate the effect of ram-pressure from the intracluster medium on the stripping of HI gas in galaxies in a massive, relaxed, X-ray bright, galaxy cluster at z=0.2 from the…
