And yet it moves: The dangers of artificially fixing the Milky Way center of mass in the presence of a massive Large Magellanic Cloud
Facundo A. Gómez, Gurtina Besla, Daniel D. Carpintero +3
Motivated by recent studies suggesting that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) could be significantly more massive than previously thought, we explore whether the approximation of an…
The influence of the environmental history on quenching star formation in a CDM universe
Michaela Hirschmann, Gabriella De Lucia, Dave Wilman +5
We present a detailed analysis of the influence of the environment and of the environmental history on quenching star formation in central and satellite galaxies in the local Unive…
On the formation and physical properties of the Intra-Cluster Light in hierarchical galaxy formation models
E. Contini, G. De Lucia, A. Villalobos +1
We study the formation of the Intra-Cluster Light (ICL) using a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation, coupled to merger trees extracted from N-body simulations of groups and clu…
Simulating the evolution of disc galaxies in a group environment. I. The influence of the global tidal field
Álvaro Villalobos, Gabriella De Lucia, Stefano Borgani +1
We present the results of a series of numerical simulations aimed to study the evolution of a disc galaxy within the global tidal field of a group environment. Both the disc galaxy…
Signatures of minor mergers in the Milky Way disc I: The SEGUE stellar sample
Facundo A. Gómez, Ivan Minchev, Brian W. O'Shea +6
It is now known that minor mergers are capable of creating structure in the phase-space distribution of their host galaxy's disc. In order to search for such imprints in the Milky…
Signatures of minor mergers in Milky Way-like disc kinematics: Ringing revisited
Facundo A. Gómez, Ivan Minchev, Álvaro Villalobos +2
By means of N-body simulations we study the response of a galactic disc to a minor merger event. We find that non-self-gravitating, spiral-like features are induced in the thick di…
