Galactic disc profiles and a universal angular momentum distribution from statistical physics
Jakob Herpich, Scott Tremaine, Hans-Walter Rix
We show that the stellar surface-brightness profiles in disc galaxies---observed to be approximately exponential---can be explained if radial migration efficiently scrambles the in…
How to bend galaxy disc profiles II: stars surfing the bar in Type-III discs
Jakob Herpich, Gregory S. Stinson, Hans-Walter Rix +2
The radial profiles of stars in disc galaxies are observed to be either purely exponential (Type-I), truncated (Type-II) or anti-truncated (Type-III) exponentials. Controlled forma…
How to bend galaxy disc profiles: the role of halo spin
Jakob Herpich, Gregory S. Stinson, Aaron A. Dutton +6
The radial density profiles of stellar galaxy discs can be well approximated as an exponential. Compared to this canonical form, however, the profiles in the majority of disc galax…
Gamma-ray anisotropies from dark matter in the Milky Way: the role of the radial distribution
F. Calore, V. De Romeri, M. Di Mauro +4
The annihilation of dark matter particles in the halo of galaxies may end up into gamma rays, which travel almost unperturbed till to their detection at Earth. This annihilation si…
MaGICC-WDM: the effects of warm dark matter in hydrodynamical simulations of disc galaxy formation
Jakob Herpich, Gregory S. Stinson, Andrea V. Macciò +4
We study the effect of warm dark matter (WDM) on hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation as part of the Making Galaxies in a Cosmological Context (MaGICC) project. We simulate…
