Angular momentum evolution of bulge stars in disc galaxies in NIHAO
Liang Wang, Danail Obreschkow, Claudia del P. Lagos +6
We study the origin of bulge stars and their angular momentum (AM) evolution in 10 spiral galaxies with baryonic masses above M in the NIHAO galaxy formation simul…
Spatially-resolved galaxy angular momentum
Sarah M. Sweet, Deanne B. Fisher, Karl Glazebrook +3
The total specific angular momentum j of a galaxy disk is matched with that of its dark matter halo, but the distributions are different, in that there is a lack of both low- and h…
Dynamic equilibrium sets atomic content of galaxies across cosmic time
Liang Wang, Danail Obreschkow, Claudia D. P. Lagos +6
We analyze 88 independent high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of disk galaxies in the NIHAO simulations suite to explore the connection between the atomic gas fraction…
Giant planets around FGK stars form probably through core accretion
Wei Wang, Liang Wang, Xiang Li +2
We present a statistical study of the planet-metallicity (P-M) correlation, by comparing the 744 stars with candidate planets (SWPs) in the Kepler field which have been observed wi…
Introducing galactic structure finder: the multiple stellar kinematic structures of a simulated Milky Way mass galaxy
Aura Obreja, Andrea V. Macciò, Benjamin Moster +4
We present the first results of applying Gaussian Mixture Models in the stellar kinematic space of normalized angular momentum and binding energy on NIHAO high resolution galaxies…
Revisiting the stellar mass -- angular momentum -- morphology relation: extension to higher bulge fraction, and the effect of bulge type
Sarah M. Sweet, David Fisher, Karl Glazebrook +3
We present the relation between stellar specific angular momentum , stellar mass , and bulge-to-total light ratio for THINGS, CALIFA and Romanowsky \& Fall datasets,…
NIHAO XVI: The properties and evolution of kinematically selected discs, bulges and stellar haloes
Aura Obreja, Aaron A. Dutton, Andrea V. Macciò +6
We use 25 simulated galaxies from the NIHAO project to define and characterize a variety of kinematic stellar structures: thin and thick discs, large scale single discs, classical…
Chaos and Variance in Galaxy Formation
B. W. Keller, J. W. Wadsley, L. Wang +1
The evolution of galaxies is governed by equations with chaotic solutions: gravity and compressible hydrodynamics. While this micro-scale chaos and stochasticity has been well stud…
