Large scale galactic turbulence: can self-gravity drive the observed HI velocity dispersions?
Oscar Agertz, George Lake, Romain Teyssier +3
Observations of turbulent velocity dispersions in the HI component of galactic disks show a characteristic floor in galaxies with low star formation rates and within individual gal…
The Magellanic Group and the Seven Dwarfs
Elena D'Onghia, George Lake
The Magellanic Clouds were the largest members of a group of dwarf galaxies that entered the Milky Way (MW) halo at late times. This group, dominated by the LMC, contained ~4% of t…
Detecting the Milky Way's Dark Disk
T. Bruch, J. Read, L. Baudis +1
In LambdaCDM, massive satellites are dragged into the disk-plane by dynamical friction where they dissolve into a stellar thick disk and a more massive dark matter disk. The distin…
Thin, thick and dark discs in LCDM
J. I. Read, G. Lake, O. Agertz +1
In a LCDM cosmology, the Milky Way accretes satellites into the stellar disc. We use cosmological simulations to assess the frequency of near disc plane and higher inclination accr…
Small Dwarf Galaxies Within Larger Dwarfs: Why Some Are Luminous While Most Go Dark
Elena D'Onghia, George Lake
We consider the possibility that the Magellanic Clouds were the largest members of a group of dwarf galaxies that entered the Milky Way (MW) halo at late times. Seven of the eleven…
