Unveiling the origins of galactic bars: insights from barred and unbarred galaxies
Paula D. López, Cecilia Scannapieco, Sofía A. Cora +1
A significant fraction of local galaxies exhibit stellar bars, non-axisymmetric structures composed of stars, gas, and dust. Identifying key differences between the properties of b…
High and low Sérsic index bulges in Milky Way- and M31-like galaxies: origin and connection to the bar with TNG50
Ignacio D. Gargiulo, Antonela Monachesi, Facundo A. Gómez +8
We study bulge formation in MW/M31-like galaxies in a -cold dark matter scenario, focusing on the origin of high- and low-Sersic index bulges. For this purpose we use TNG50, a s…
Linking the brightest stellar streams with the accretion history of Milky Way-like galaxies
Alex Vera-Casanova, Facundo A. Gómez, Antonela Monachesi +8
According to the current galaxy formation paradigm, mergers and interactions play an important role in shaping present-day galaxies. The remnants of this merger activity can be use…
Chemodynamics of barred galaxies in cosmological simulations: On the Milky Way's quiescent merger history and in-situ bulge
F. Fragkoudi, R. J. J. Grand, R. Pakmor +9
We explore the chemodynamical properties of a sample of barred galaxies in the Auriga magneto-hydrodynamical cosmological zoom-in simulations, which form boxy/peanut (b/p) bulges,…
The prevalence of pseudo-bulges in the Auriga simulations
Ignacio D. Gargiulo, Antonela Monachesi, Facundo A. Gómez +7
We study the galactic bulges in the Auriga simulations, a suite of thirty cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations of late-type galaxies in Milky Way-sized dark matt…
Simulating cosmological substructure in the solar neighbourhood
Christine M. Simpson, Ignacio Gargiulo, Facundo A. Gómez +8
We explore the predictive power of cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations for stellar phase space substructure and velocity correlations with the Auriga simulations and Aurigaia…
