Vertical disc heating in Milky Way-sized galaxies in a cosmological context
Robert J. J. Grand, Volker Springel, Facundo A. Gómez +4
Vertically extended, high velocity dispersion stellar distributions appear to be a ubiquitous feature of disc galaxies, and both internal and external mechanisms have been proposed…
A fully cosmological model of a Monoceros-like ring
Facundo A. Gómez, Simon D. M. White, Federico Marinacci +4
We study the vertical structure of a stellar disk obtained from a fully cosmological high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of the formation of a Milky Way-like galaxy. At the p…
The Caterpillar Project: A Large Suite of Milky Way Sized Halos
Brendan F. Griffen, Alexander P. Ji, Gregory A. Dooley +4
We present the largest number of Milky Way sized dark matter halos simulated at very high mass ( M/particle) and temporal resolution (5 Myrs/snapshot) don…
On the relevance of chaos for halo stars in the Solar Neighbourhood
Nicolás P. Maffione, Facundo A. Gómez, Pablo M. Cincotta +3
We show that diffusion due to chaotic mixing in the Neighbourhood of the Sun may not be as relevant as previously suggested in erasing phase space signatures of past Galactic accre…
A 10 kpc stellar substructure at the edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud: perturbed outer disk or evidence for tidal stripping?
Dougal Mackey, Sergey E. Koposov, Denis Erkal +3
We report the discovery of a substantial stellar overdensity in the periphery of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), found using public imaging from the first year of the Dark Energy…
A timing constraint on the (total) mass of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Jorge Peñarrubia, Facundo A. Gómez, Gurtina Besla +2
This paper explores the effect of the LMC on the mass estimates obtained from the timing argument. We show that accounting for the presence of the LMC systematically lowers the Loc…
