Features of hadronic and deconfined matter from AGS to LHC energies

M. Petrovici, A. Pop

Previous extensive studies on the dependence of the average transverse momentum, its slope as a function of the hadron mass and the average transverse expansion on the particle mul…

Unifying Sunyaev-Zel'dovich and X-ray predictions from clusters to galaxy groups: the impact of X-ray mass estimates on the scaling relation

Ana-Roxana Pop, Lars Hernquist, Daisuke Nagai +7

One of the main limitations in precision cluster cosmology arises from systematic errors and uncertainties in estimating cluster masses. Using the Mock-X pipeline, we produce synth…

Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and X-ray scaling relations of galaxies, groups and clusters in the IllustrisTNG simulations

Ana-Roxana Pop, Lars Hernquist, Daisuke Nagai +8

Observable thermodynamical properties of the intracluster medium (ICM) reflect the complex interplay between AGN feedback and the gravitational collapse of haloes. Using the large…

Characterizing hydrostatic mass bias with Mock-X

David J. Barnes, Mark Vogelsberger, Francesca A. Pearce +5

Surveys in the next decade will deliver large samples of galaxy clusters that transform our understanding of their formation. Cluster astrophysics and cosmology studies will become…

Galaxies with Shells in the Illustris Simulation: Metallicity Signatures

Ana-Roxana Pop, Annalisa Pillepich, Nicola C. Amorisco +1

Stellar shells are low surface brightness arcs of overdense stellar regions, extending to large galactocentric distances. In a companion study, we identified 39 shell galaxies in a…

Formation and Incidence of Shell Galaxies in the Illustris Simulation

Ana-Roxana Pop, Annalisa Pillepich, Nicola C. Amorisco +1

Shells are low surface brightness tidal debris that appear as interleaved caustics with large opening angles, often situated on both sides of the galaxy center. In this paper, we s…

Axion dark matter, solitons, and the cusp-core problem

David J. E. Marsh, Ana-Roxana Pop

Self-gravitating bosonic fields can support stable and localised field configurations. For real fields, these solutions oscillate in time and are known as oscillatons. The density…

Simulations and Theory of Ion Injection at Non-relativistic Collisionless Shocks

Damiano Caprioli, Ana-Roxana Pop, Anatoly Spitkovsky

We use kinetic hybrid simulations (kinetic ions - fluid electrons) to characterize the fraction of ions that are accelerated to non-thermal energies at non-relativistic collisionle…

Gas Loss in Simulated Galaxies as They Fall into Clusters

Renyue Cen, Ana R. Pop, Neta A. Bahcall

We use high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic galaxy formation simulations to gain insights on how galaxies lose their cold gas at low redshift as they migrate from the field to…
