Stellar splashback: the edge of the intracluster light

Alis J. Deason, Kyle A. Oman, Azadeh Fattahi +8

We examine the outskirts of galaxy clusters in the C-EAGLE simulations to quantify the `edges' of the stellar and dark matter distribution. The radius of the steepest slope in the…

A homogeneous measurement of the delay between the onsets of gas stripping and star formation quenching in satellite galaxies of groups and clusters

Kyle A. Oman, Yannick M. Bahé, Julia Healy +3

We combine orbital information from N-body simulations with an analytic model for star formation quenching and SDSS observations to infer the differential effect of the group/clust…

Massive disc galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations are too dark matter-dominated

A. Marasco, L. Posti, K. Oman +3

We investigate the disc-halo connection in massive (Mstar/Msun>5e10) disc galaxies from the cosmological hydrodynamical simulations EAGLE and IllustrisTNG, and compare it with that…

Observational constraints on the slope of the radial acceleration relation at low accelerations

Kyle A. Oman, Margot M. Brouwer, Aaron D. Ludlow +1

The radial acceleration relation (RAR) locally relates the `observed' acceleration inferred from the dynamics of a system to the acceleration implied by its baryonic matter distrib…

Robust HI kinematics of gas-rich ultra-diffuse galaxies: hints of a weak-feedback formation scenario

Pavel E. Mancera Piña, Filippo Fraternali, Kyle A. Oman +15

We study the gas kinematics of a sample of six isolated gas-rich low surface brightness galaxies, of the class called ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). These galaxies have recently be…

The Edge of the Galaxy

Alis J. Deason, Azadeh Fattahi, Carlos S. Frenk +5

We use cosmological simulations of isolated Milky Way-mass galaxies, as well as Local Group analogues, to define the "edge" -- a caustic manifested in a drop in density or radial v…
