Structural and photometric properties of barred galaxies from the Auriga cosmological simulations
Guillermo Blázquez-Calero, Estrella Florido, Isabel Pérez +6
In this work we analyse the structural and photometric properties of 21 barred simulated galaxies from the Auriga Project. These consist of Milky Way-mass magneto-hydrodynamical si…
Magnetising the circumgalactic medium of disk galaxies
Ruediger Pakmor, Freeke van de Voort, Rebekka Bieri +7
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is one of the frontiers of galaxy formation and intimately connected to the galaxy via accretion of gas on to the galaxy and gaseous outflows from t…
Chemodynamics of barred galaxies in cosmological simulations: On the Milky Way's quiescent merger history and in-situ bulge
F. Fragkoudi, R. J. J. Grand, R. Pakmor +9
We explore the chemodynamical properties of a sample of barred galaxies in the Auriga magneto-hydrodynamical cosmological zoom-in simulations, which form boxy/peanut (b/p) bulges,…
The Milky Way total mass profile as inferred from Gaia DR2
Marius Cautun, Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, Alis J. Deason +7
We determine the Milky Way (MW) mass profile inferred from fitting physically motivated models to the Gaia DR2 Galactic rotation curve and other data. Using various hydrodynamical…
The effects of cosmic rays on the formation of Milky Way-mass galaxies in a cosmological context
Tobias Buck, Christoph Pfrommer, Rüdiger Pakmor +2
We investigate the impact of cosmic rays (CR) and different modes of CR transport on the properties of Milky Way-mass galaxies in cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations in…
Gas accretion and galactic fountain flows in the Auriga cosmological simulations: angular momentum and metal re-distribution
Robert J. J. Grand, Freeke van de Voort, Jolanta Zjupa +7
Using a set of 15 high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic cosmological simulations of Milky Way formation, we investigate the origin of the baryonic material found in stars at redshift…
Dark matter halo shapes in the Auriga simulations
Jesus Prada, Jaime E. Forero-Romero, Robert J. J. Grand +2
We present shape measurements of Milky Way-sized dark matter halos at redshift in a suite of 30 zoom simulations from the Auriga project. We compare the results in full magne…
The dark matter component of the Gaia radially anisotropic substructure
Nassim Bozorgnia, Azadeh Fattahi, Carlos S. Frenk +5
We study the properties of the dark matter component of the radially anisotropic stellar population recently identified in the Gaia data, using magneto-hydrodynamical simulations o…
The Biggest Splash
Vasily Belokurov, Jason L. Sanders, Azadeh Fattahi +4
Using a large sample of bright nearby stars with accurate Gaia Data Release 2 astrometry and auxiliary spectroscopy we map out the properties of the principle Galactic components s…
The globular cluster system of the Auriga simulations
Timo L. R. Halbesma, Robert J. J. Grand, Facundo A. Gómez +5
We investigate whether the galaxy and star formation model used for the Auriga simulations can produce a realistic globular cluster (GC) population. We compare statistics of GC can…
The diversity of the circumgalactic medium around z = 0 Milky Way-mass galaxies from the Auriga simulations
Maan H. Hani, Sara L. Ellison, Martin Sparre +4
Galaxies are surrounded by massive gas reservoirs (i.e. the circumgalactic medium; CGM) which play a key role in their evolution. The properties of the CGM, which are dependent on…
The prevalence of pseudo-bulges in the Auriga simulations
Ignacio D. Gargiulo, Antonela Monachesi, Facundo A. Gómez +7
We study the galactic bulges in the Auriga simulations, a suite of thirty cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations of late-type galaxies in Milky Way-sized dark matt…
Neutron star mergers and rare core-collapse supernovae as sources of r-process enrichment in simulated galaxies
Freeke van de Voort, Rüdiger Pakmor, Robert J. J. Grand +3
We use cosmological, magnetohydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies from the Auriga project to study their enrichment with rapid neutron capture (r-process) elements.…
The effects of dynamical substructure on Milky Way mass estimates from the high velocity tail of the local stellar halo
Robert J. J. Grand, Alis J. Deason, Simon D. M. White +4
We investigate the impact of dynamical streams and substructure on estimates of the local escape speed and total mass of Milky Way-mass galaxies from modelling the high velocity ta…
A study of stellar orbit fractions: simulated IllustrisTNG galaxies compared to CALIFA observations
Dandan Xu, Ling Zhu, Robert Grand +16
Motivated by the recently discovered kinematic "Hubble sequence" shown by the stellar orbit-circularity distribution of 260 CALIFA galaxies, we make use of a comparable galaxy samp…
WARPFIELD Population Synthesis: The physics of (extra-)Galactic star formation and feedback driven cloud structure and emission from sub-to-kpc scales
E. W. Pellegrini, S. Reissl, D. Rahner +5
We present a novel method to model galactic scale star formation and the resulting emission from star clusters and the multi-phase interstellar medium. We combine global parameters…
