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…
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…
Thick-disk evolution induced by the growth of an embedded thin disk
Álvaro Villalobos, Stelios Kazantzidis, Amina Helmi
We perform collisionless N-body simulations to investigate the evolution of the structural and kinematical properties of simulated thick disks induced by the growth of an embedded…
Orbital Eccentricity as a probe of Thick Disk Formation Scenarios
Laura V. Sales, Amina Helmi, Mario G. Abadi +7
We study the orbital properties of stars in four (published) simulations of thick disks formed by: i) accretion from disrupted satellites, ii) heating of a pre-existing thin disk b…
