The central slope of dark matter cores in dwarf galaxies: Simulations vs. THINGS
Se-Heon Oh, Chris Brook, Fabio Governato +5
We make a direct comparison of the derived dark matter (DM) distributions between hydrodynamical simulations of dwarf galaxies assuming a LCDM cosmology and the observed dwarf gala…
Interpreting the Evolution of the Size - Luminosity Relation for Disk Galaxies from Redshift 1 to the Present
Alyson Brooks, Adam Solomon, Fabio Governato +6
A sample of very high resolution cosmological disk galaxy simulations is used to investigate the evolution of galaxy disk sizes back to redshift 1 within the Lambda CDM cosmology.…
Hierarchical formation of bulgeless galaxies: Why outflows have low angular momentum
C. B. Brook, F. Governato, R. Roskar +9
Using high resolution, fully cosmological smoothed particle hydro-dynamical simulations of dwarf galaxies in a Lambda cold dark matter Universe, we show how baryons attain a final…
Wandering Black Holes in Bright Disk Galaxy Halos
Jillian Bellovary, Fabio Governato, Tom Quinn +3
We perform SPH+N-body cosmological simulations of massive disk galaxies, including a formalism for black hole seed formation and growth, and find that satellite galaxies containing…
Misaligned Angular Momentum in Hydrodynamic Cosmological Simulations: Warps, Outer Discs, and Thick Discs
Rok Roškar, Victor P. Debattista, Alyson M. Brooks +5
We present a detailed analysis of a disc galaxy forming in a high-resolution fully cosmological simulation to investigate the nature of the outer regions of discs and their relevan…
Angular Momentum Evolution in Dark Matter Halos
Laura G. Book, Alyson Brooks, Annika H. G. Peter +2
We have analyzed high resolution N-body simulations of dark matter halos, focusing specifically on the evolution of angular momentum. We find that not only is individual particle a…
The Dual Origin of Stellar Halos II: Chemical Abundances as Tracers of Formation History
Adi Zolotov, Beth Willman, Alyson Brooks +4
Fully cosmological, high resolution N-Body + SPH simulations are used to investigate the chemical abundance trends of stars in simulated stellar halos as a function of their origin…
Analytic and numerical realisations of a disk galaxy
M. J. Stringer, A. M. Brooks, A. J. Benson +1
Recent focus on the importance of cold, unshocked gas accretion in galaxy formation -- not explicitly included in semi-analytic studies -- motivates the following detailed comparis…
