Formation and fate of low metallicity stars in IllustrisTNG50

Ruediger Pakmor, Christine M. Simpson, Freeke van de Voort +6

Low metallicity stars give rise to unique spectacular transients and are of immense interest for understanding stellar evolution. Their importance has only grown further with the r…

Satellites Around Milky Way Analogs: Tension in the Number and Fraction of Quiescent Satellites Seen in Observations Versus Simulations

Ananthan Karunakaran, Kristine Spekkens, Kyle A. Oman +13

We compare the star-forming properties of satellites around Milky Way (MW) analogs from the Stage~II release of the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs Survey (SAGA-II) to those fro…

Determining the full satellite population of a Milky Way-mass halo in a highly resolved cosmological hydrodynamic simulation

Robert J. J. Grand, Federico Marinacci, Rüdiger Pakmor +7

We investigate the formation of the satellite galaxy population of a Milky Way-mass halo in a very highly resolved magneto-hydrodynamic cosmological zoom-in simulation (baryonic ma…

A tale of two populations: surviving and destroyed dwarf galaxies and the build up of the Milky Way's stellar halo

Azadeh Fattahi, Alis J. Deason, Carlos S. Frenk +6

We use magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-mass haloes from the Auriga project to examine the properties of surviving and destroyed dwarf galaxies that are accreted by…

The Edge of the Galaxy

Alis J. Deason, Azadeh Fattahi, Carlos S. Frenk +5

We use cosmological simulations of isolated Milky Way-mass galaxies, as well as Local Group analogues, to define the "edge" -- a caustic manifested in a drop in density or radial v…

Magnetising the circumgalactic medium of disk galaxies

Ruediger Pakmor, Freeke van de Voort, Rebekka Bieri +7

The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is one of the frontiers of galaxy formation and intimately connected to the galaxy via accretion of gas on to the galaxy and gaseous outflows from t…
