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…
Constraining the mass of the Local Group
Edoardo Carlesi, Yehuda Hoffman, Jenny G. Sorce +1
The mass of the Local Group (LG) is a crucial parameter for galaxy formation theories. However, its observational determination is challenging - its mass budget is dominated by dar…
The tangential velocity of M31: CLUES from constrained simulations
Edoardo Carlesi, Yehuda Hoffman, Jenny G. Sorce +4
Determining the precise value of the tangential component of the velocity of M31 is a non trivial astrophysical issue, that relies on complicated modeling. This has recently lead t…
