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 Dual Origin of Stellar Halos
Adi Zolotov, Beth Willman, Alyson M. Brooks +5
We investigate the formation of the stellar halos of four simulated disk galaxies using high resolution, cosmological SPH + N-Body simulations. These simulations include a self-con…
