Stream-subhalo interactions in the Aquarius simulations

Robyn E. Sanderson, Carlos Vera-Ciro, Amina Helmi +1

We perform the first self-consistent measurement of the rate of interactions between stellar tidal streams created by disrupting satellites and dark subhalos in a cosmological simu…

The imprint of radial migration on the vertical structure of galaxy disks

Carlos Vera-Ciro, Elena D'Onghia, Julio F. Navarro

We use numerical simulations to examine the effects of radial migration on the vertical structure of galaxy disks. The simulations follow three exponential disks of different mass…

Excitation of coupled stellar motions in the Galactic Disk by orbiting satellites

E. D'Onghia, P. Madau, C. Vera-Ciro +2

We use a set of high-resolution N-body simulations of the Galactic disk to study its interactions with the population of satellites predicted cosmologically. One simulation illustr…

On the conservation of the vertical action on galactic disks

Carlos Vera-Ciro, Elena D'Onghia

We employ high-resolution N-body simulations of isolated spiral galaxy models, from low-amplitude, multi-armed galaxies to Milky Way-like disks, to estimate the vertical action of…

Matching the dark matter profiles of dSph galaxies with those of simulated satellites: a two parameter comparison

Maarten A. Breddels, Carlos Vera-Ciro, Amina Helmi

We compare the dark matter halos' structural parameters derived for four Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies to those of subhalos found in cosmological -body simulations. We con…
