A Common Origin for Globular Clusters and Ultra-faint Dwarfs in Simulations of the First Galaxies
Massimo Ricotti, Owen H. Parry, Nickolay Y. Gnedin
In this paper, the first in a series on galaxy formation before reionization, we focus on understanding what determines the size and morphology of stellar objects in the first low…
Particle tagging and its implications for stellar population dynamics
Theo Le Bret, Andrew Pontzen, Andrew P. Cooper +5
We establish a controlled comparison between the properties of galactic stellar halos obtained with hydrodynamical simulations and with `particle tagging'. Tagging is a fast way to…
Formation of In Situ Stellar Haloes in Milky Way-Mass Galaxies
Andrew P. Cooper, Owen H. Parry, Ben Lowing +2
We study the formation of stellar haloes in three Milky Way-mass galaxies using cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations, focusing on the subset of halo stars that…
The Aquila comparison Project: The Effects of Feedback and Numerical Methods on Simulations of Galaxy Formation
C. Scannapieco, M. Wadepuhl, O. H. Parry +20
We compare the results of thirteen cosmological gasdynamical codes used to simulate the formation of a galaxy in the LCDM structure formation paradigm. The various runs differ in t…
The Baryons in the Milky Way Satellites
Owen H. Parry, Vincent R. Eke, Carlos S. Frenk +1
We investigate the formation and evolution of satellite galaxies using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of a Milky Way(MW)-like system, focussing on the best resol…
