FIRE in the Field: Simulating the Threshold of Galaxy Formation
Alex Fitts, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Oliver D. Elbert +9
We present a suite of 15 cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated dark matter halos, all with masses of at , in order to unde…
The Halos and Environments of Nearby Galaxies (HERON) Survey
R. Michael Rich, Noah Brosch, James Bullock +7
We have used dedicated 0.7m telescopes in California and Israel to image the halos of ~200 galaxies in the Local Volume to 29 mag/sq arcsec, the sample mainly drawn from the 2MASS…
A Testable Conspiracy: Simulating Baryonic Effects on Self-Interacting Dark Matter Halos
Oliver D. Elbert, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat +3
We investigate the response of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos to the growth of galaxy potentials using idealized simulations, each run in tandem with standard collisionl…
High Angular Momentum Halo Gas: a Feedback and Code-Independent Prediction of LCDM
Kyle Stewart, Ariyeh Maller, Jose Oñorbe +7
We investigate angular momentum acquisition in Milky Way-sized galaxies by comparing five high resolution zoom-in simulations, each implementing identical cosmological initial cond…
Under Pressure: Quenching Star Formation in Low-Mass Satellite Galaxies via Stripping
Sean P. Fillingham, Michael C. Cooper, Andrew B. Pace +4
Recent studies of galaxies in the local Universe, including those in the Local Group, find that the efficiency of environmental (or satellite) quenching increases dramatically at s…
The Frontier Fields: Survey Design
J. M. Lotz, A. Koekemoer, D. Coe +39
The Frontier Fields are a director's discretionary time campaign with HST and the Spitzer Space Telescope to see deeper into the universe than ever before. The Frontier Fields comb…
Baryonic Distributions in Galaxy Dark Matter Haloes I: New Observations of Neutral and Ionized Gas Kinematics
Emily E. Richards, L. van Zee, K. L. Barnes +7
We present a combination of new and archival neutral hydrogen (HI) observations and new ionized gas spectroscopic observations for sixteen galaxies in the statistically representat…
Organized Chaos: Scatter in the relation between stellar mass and halo mass in small galaxies
Shea Garrison-Kimmel, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +1
We use Local Group galaxy counts together with the ELVIS N-body simulations to explore the relationship between the scatter and slope in the stellar mass vs. halo mass relation at…
