Are rotating planes of satellite galaxies ubiquitous?
John I. Phillips, Michael C. Cooper, James S. Bullock +1
We compare the dynamics of satellite galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to simple models in order to test the hypothesis that a large fraction of satellites co-rotate in cohe…
The Mass Dependance of Satellite Quenching in Milky Way-like Halos
John I. Phillips, Coral Wheeler, Michael C. Cooper +3
Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we examine the quenching of satellite galaxies around isolated Milky Way-like hosts in the local Universe. We find that the efficiency of satell…
The surprising inefficiency of dwarf satellite quenching
Coral Wheeler, John I. Phillips, Michael C. Cooper +2
We study dwarf satellite galaxy quenching using observations from the Geha et al. (2012) NSA/SDSS catalog together with LCDM cosmological simulations to facilitate selection and in…
A Dichotomy in Satellite Quenching Around L* Galaxies
John I. Phillips, Coral Wheeler, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +3
We examine the star formation properties of bright (~0.1 L*) satellites around isolated ~L* hosts in the local Universe using spectroscopically confirmed systems in the Sloan Digit…
