Mergers and the outside-in formation of dwarf spheroidals
Alejandro Benítez-Llambay, Julio F. Navarro, Mario G. Abadi +4
We use a cosmological simulation of the formation of the Local Group to explore the origin of age and metallicity gradients in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We find that a number of s…
The APOSTLE simulations: solutions to the Local Group's cosmic puzzles
Till Sawala, Carlos S. Frenk, Azadeh Fattahi +13
The Local Group of galaxies offer some of the most discriminating tests of models of cosmic structure formation. For example, observations of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda satel…
Dark matter annihilation radiation in hydrodynamic simulations of Milky Way haloes
Matthieu Schaller, Carlos S. Frenk, Tom Theuns +8
We obtain predictions for the properties of cold dark matter annihilation radiation using high resolution hydrodynamic zoom-in cosmological simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies (…
The ACS LCID Project: On the origin of dwarf galaxy types: a manifestation of the halo assembly bias?
C. Gallart, M. Monelli, L. Mayer +13
We discuss how knowledge of the whole evolutionary history of dwarf galaxies, including details on the early star formation events, can provide insight on the origin of the differe…
The APOSTLE project: Local Group kinematic mass constraints and simulation candidate selection
Azadeh Fattahi, Julio F. Navarro, Till Sawala +8
We use a large sample of isolated dark matter halo pairs drawn from cosmological N-body simulations to identify candidate systems whose kinematics match that of the Local Group of…
Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory Detailed Science Case 2024
Warren Skidmore, Bob Kirshner, David Andersen +168
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International Observatory (TIO) will be a revolutionary leap forward in astronomical observing capabilities, enabling us to address some of the mos…
Identification of Globular Cluster Stars in RAVE data I: Application to Stellar Parameter Calibration
B. Anguiano, D. B. Zucker, R. -D. Scholz +22
We present the identification of potential members of nearby Galactic globular clusters using radial velocities from the RAdial Velocity Experiment Data Release 4 (RAVE-DR4) survey…
The unexpected diversity of dwarf galaxy rotation curves
Kyle A. Oman, Julio F. Navarro, Azadeh Fattahi +9
We examine the circular velocity profiles of galaxies in ΛCDM cosmological hydrodynamical simulations from the EAGLE and LOCAL GROUPS projects and compare them with a compilation o…
The imprints of the Galactic bar on the thick disk with RAVE
T. Antoja, G. Monari, A. Helmi +13
We study the kinematics of a local sample of stars, located within a cylinder of 500 pc radius centered on the Sun, in the RAVE dataset. We find clear asymmetries in the -$v_ϕ…
