Tracing the first stars and galaxies of the Milky Way
Brendan F. Griffen, Gregory A. Dooley, Alexander P. Ji +3
We use 30 high-resolution dark matter halos of the simulation suite to probe the first stars and galaxies of Milky Way-mass systems. We quantify the environment of th…
Evidence of ongoing radial migration in NGC 6754: Azimuthal variations of the gas properties
L. Sánchez-Menguiano, S. F. Sánchez, D. Kawata +9
Understanding the nature of spiral structure in disk galaxies is one of the main, and still unsolved questions in galactic astronomy. However, theoretical works are proposing new t…
Properties of HI discs in the Auriga cosmological simulations
Federico Marinacci, Robert Grand, Rüdiger Pakmor +4
We analyse the properties of the HI gas distribution in the Auriga project, a set of magnetohydrodynamic cosmological simulations performed with the moving-mesh code AREPO and a ph…
The Auriga Project: the properties and formation mechanisms of disc galaxies across cosmic time
Robert J. J. Grand, Facundo A. Gómez, Federico Marinacci +6
We introduce a suite of thirty cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical zoom simulations of the formation of galaxies in isolated Milky Way mass dark haloes. These were carried out with…
Response of the Milky Way's disc to the Large Magellanic Cloud in a first infall scenario
Chervin F. P. Laporte, Facundo A. Gómez, Gurtina Besla +2
We present N-body and hydrodynamical simulations of the response of the Milky Way's baryonic disc to the presence of the Large Magellanic Cloud during a first infall scenario. For…
The effect of a disc on the population of cuspy and cored dark matter substructures in Milky Way-like galaxies
Raphaël Errani, Jorge Peñarrubia, Chervin F. P. Laporte +1
We use high-resolution -body simulations to study the effect of a galactic disc on the dynamical evolution of dark matter substructures with orbits and structural parameters ext…
Warps and waves in the stellar discs of the Auriga cosmological simulations
Facundo A. Gómez, Simon D. M. White, Robert J. J. Grand +3
Recent studies have revealed an oscillating asymmetry in the vertical structure of the Milky Way's disc. Here we analyze 16 high-resolution, fully cosmological simulations of the e…
Spiral-induced velocity and metallicity patterns in a cosmological zoom simulation of a Milky Way-sized galaxy
Robert J. J. Grand, Volker Springel, Daisuke Kawata +6
We use a high resolution cosmological zoom simulation of a Milky Way-sized halo to study the observable features in velocity and metallicity space associated with the dynamical inf…
