Probing the kinematics of the Local Group with chemically enriched gas in the Hestia simulations
L. Biaus, S. E. Nuza, C. Scannapieco +4
We present a study of the gas kinematics within the Hestia project, a state-of-the-art set of simulations of the Local Group, with a particular focus on the velocity patterns of di…
From atoms to stars: Modelling formation and its impact on galactic evolution
E. Lozano, C. Scannapieco, S. E. Nuza +2
We present a sub-grid model for star formation in galaxy simulations, incorporating molecular hydrogen () production via dust grain condensation and its destruction t…
The distribution and origin of metals in simulated Milky Way-like galaxies
Federico G. Iza, Cecilia Scannapieco, Sebastián E. Nuza +6
In this study, we investigate the distribution and origin of chemical elements in different stellar components of simulated Milky Way-like galaxies in relation to their mass assemb…
Kinematic patterns of the enriched gas phase in the Local Group {\sc Hestia} simulations
L. Biaus, S. E. Nuza, C. Scannapieco +2
Observations of intergalactic absorbers in the Local Group suggest the existence of a velocity dipole in the general barycentre--antibarycentre direction which can be interpreted a…
The distribution of metals in simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies
Federico G. Iza, Sebastián E. Nuza, Cecilia Scannapieco +2
Galaxies form due to the continuous accretion of gaseous material towards the centre of dark matter haloes, which gives rise to stellar discs once the gas reaches high density. Ana…
Cosmological gas accretion of Milky Way-type galaxies and the build-up of galactic discs
Sebastián E. Nuza, Cecilia Scannapieco
In this work, we present results on the assembly of stellar discs belonging to Milky Way-type galaxies in the Auriga simulated sample. We study the net accretion of gas onto the di…
