Beta Dips in the Gaia Era: Simulation Predictions of the Galactic Velocity Anisotropy Parameter for Stellar Halos
Sarah R. Loebman, Monica Valluri, Kohei Hattori +7
The velocity anisotropy parameter, beta, is a measure of the kinematic state of orbits in the stellar halo which holds promise for constraining the merger history of the Milky Way…
NIHAO X: Reconciling the local galaxy velocity function with Cold Dark Matter via mock HI observations
Andrea V. Macciò, Silviu M. Udrescu, Aaron A. Dutton +4
We used 87 high resolution hydrodynamical cosmological simulations from the NIHAO suite to investigate the relation between the maximum circular velocity (Vmax) of a dark matter ha…
Stellar orbital properties as diagnostics of the origin of the stellar halo
Monica Valluri, Sarah R. Loebman, Jeremy Bailin +3
We examine metallicities, ages and orbital properties of halo stars in a Milky-Way like disk galaxy formed in the cosmological hydrodynamical MaGICC simulations. Halo stars were ei…
The Distribution of Metals in Cosmological Hydrodynamical Simulations of Dwarf Disk Galaxies
K. Pilkington, B. K. Gibson, C. B. Brook +9
We examine the chemical properties of 5 cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of an M33-like disc galaxy which have been shown to be consistent with the morphological characteris…
Advanced Morphological Galaxy Classification: A Comparison of Real and Simulated Galaxies
K. M. Hambleton, B. K. Gibson, C. B. Brook +5
Encoded within the morphological structure of galaxies are clues related to their formation and evolutionary history. Recent advances pertaining to the statistics of galaxy morphol…
Haloes gone MAD: The Halo-Finder Comparison Project
Alexander Knebe, Steffen R. Knollmann, Stuart I. Muldrew +34
[abridged] We present a detailed comparison of fundamental dark matter halo properties retrieved by a substantial number of different halo finders. These codes span a wide range of…
