Subhalo Demographics in the Illustris Simulation: Effects of Baryons and Halo-to-Halo Variation
Kun Ting Eddie Chua, Annalisa Pillepich, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez +3
We study the abundance of subhaloes in the hydrodynamical cosmological simulation Illustris, which includes both baryons and dark matter in a CDM volume 106.5 Mpc a side. We com…
Massive Close Pairs Measure Rapid Galaxy Assembly in Mergers at High Redshift
Gregory F. Snyder, Jennifer M. Lotz, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez +3
We compare mass-selected close pairs at z > 1 with the intrinsic galaxy merger rate in the Illustris Simulations. To do so, we construct three 140 arcmin^2 lightcone catalogs and m…
The role of mergers and halo spin in shaping galaxy morphology
Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Laura V. Sales, Shy Genel +10
Mergers and the spin of the dark matter halo are factors traditionally believed to determine the morphology of galaxies within a CDM cosmology. We study this hypothesis by consi…
Sussing Merger Trees: Stability and Convergence
Yang Wang, Frazer R. Pearce, Alexander Knebe +15
Merger trees are routinely used to follow the growth and merging history of dark matter haloes and subhaloes in simulations of cosmic structure formation. Srisawat et al. (2013) co…
