Estimation of the masses in the Local Group by Gradient Boosted Decision Trees
Edoardo Carlesi, Yehuda Hoffman, Noam Libeskind
Our goal is to estimate the mass of the Local Group (LG) and the individual masses of its primary galaxies, the M31 and the Milky Way (MW). We do this by means of a supervised mach…
NIHAO-LG: The uniqueness of Local Group dwarf galaxies
Nikhil Arora, Andrea V. Macció, Stéphane Courteau +8
Recent observational and theoretical studies of the Local Group (LG) dwarf galaxies have highlighted their unique star-formation history, stellar metallicity, gas content, and kine…
The Hestia project: simulations of the Local Group
Noam I. Libeskind, Edoardo Carlesi, Rob J. J. Grand +19
We present the Hestia simulation suite: High-resolutions Environmental Simulations of The Immediate Area, a set of cosmological simulations of the Local Group. Initial conditions c…
On the Mass Assembly History of the Local Group
Edoardo Carlesi, Yehuda Hoffman, Stefan Gottlöber +4
In this work an ensemble of simulated Local Group analogues is used to constrain the properties of the mass assembly history of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) galaxies. The…
The orientation of planes of dwarf galaxies in the quasi-linear Universe
Noam I Libeskind, Edoardo Carlesi, Oliver Muller +9
To date at least 10 highly flattened planes of dwarf galaxies are claimed to have been discovered in the Local Universe. The origin of these planes of galaxies remains unknown. One…
Partitioning the universe into gravitational basins using the cosmic velocity field
A. Dupuy, H. M. Courtois, F. Dupont +8
This letter presents a new approach using the cosmic peculiar velocity field to characterize the morphology and size of large scale structures in the local Universe. The algorithm…
