At the heart of the matter: the origin of bulgeless dwarf galaxies and Dark Matter cores
Fabio Governato, Chris Brook, Lucio Mayer +8
For almost two decades the properties of "dwarf" galaxies have challenged the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of galaxy formation. Most observed dwarf galaxies consists of a rotati…
Structure, Kinematics, and Chemical Enrichment Patterns after Major Gas-Rich Disc-Disc Mergers
Simon Richard, Chris B. Brook, Hugo Martel +3
We used an N-body smoothed particle hydrodynamics algorithm, with a detailed treatment of star formation, supernovae feedback, and chemical enrichment, to perform eight simulations…
Chemodynamical analysis of bulge stars for simulated disc galaxies
A. Rahimi, D. Kawata, Chris B. Brook +1
We analyse the kinematics and chemistry of the bulge stars of two simulated disc galaxies using our chemodynamical galaxy evolution code GCD+. First we compare stars that are born…
Orbital Eccentricity as a probe of Thick Disk Formation Scenarios
Laura V. Sales, Amina Helmi, Mario G. Abadi +7
We study the orbital properties of stars in four (published) simulations of thick disks formed by: i) accretion from disrupted satellites, ii) heating of a pre-existing thin disk b…
The Origin of the Light Distribution in Spiral Galaxies
Patricia Sanchez-Blazquez, Stephanie Courty, Brad Gibson +1
We analyse a high-resolution, fully cosmological, hydrodynamical disc galaxy simulation, to study the source of the double-exponential light profiles seen in many stellar discs, an…
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…
