Origin of the correlation between stellar kinematics and globular cluster system richness in ultra-diffuse galaxies
Joel Pfeffer, Steven R. Janssens, Maria Luisa Buzzo +9
Observational surveys have found that the dynamical masses of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) correlate with the richness of their globular cluster (GC) system. This could be explain…
Constraining the stellar populations of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the MATLAS survey using spectral energy distribution fitting
Maria Luisa Buzzo, Duncan A. Forbes, Thomas H. Jarrett +12
We use spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to place constraints on the stellar populations of 59 ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the low-to-moderate density fields of the M…
Realistic simulated galaxies form [/Fe]-[Fe/H] knees due to a sustained decline in their star formation rates
Andrew C. Mason, Robert A. Crain, Ricardo P. Schiavon +5
We examine the stellar [/Fe]-[Fe/H] distribution of present-day galaxies in a high-resolution EAGLE simulation. A slight majority of galaxies exhibit the canonical…
In-situ or accreted? Using deep learning to infer the origin of extragalactic globular clusters from observables
Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Joel Pfeffer +4
Globular clusters (GCs) are powerful tracers of the galaxy assembly process, and have already been used to obtain a detailed picture of the progenitors of the Milky Way. Using the…
The physics governing the upper truncation mass of the globular cluster mass function
Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer, Nate Bastian +5
The mass function of globular cluster (GC) populations is a fundamental observable that encodes the physical conditions under which these massive stellar clusters formed and evolve…
Contribution of stripped nuclear clusters to globular cluster and ultra-compact dwarf galaxy populations
Joel Pfeffer, Brendan F. Griffen, Holger Baumgardt +1
We use the Millennium II cosmological simulation combined with the semi-analytic galaxy formation model of Guo et al. (2011) to predict the contribution of galactic nuclei formed b…
