The multiplicity and anisotropy of galactic satellite accretion
Shi Shao, Marius Cautun, Carlos S. Frenk +4
We study the incidence of group and filamentary dwarf galaxy accretion into Milky Way (MW) mass haloes using two types of hydrodynamical simulations: EAGLE, which resolves a large…
Selecting ultra-faint dwarf candidate progenitors in cosmological N-body simulations at high redshifts
Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Alexander P. Ji, Gregory A. Dooley +4
The smallest satellites of the Milky Way ceased forming stars during the epoch of reionization and thus provide archaeological access to galaxy formation at . Numerical studie…
The Influence of Sagittarius and the Large Magellanic Cloud on the Milky Way Galaxy
Chervin F. P. Laporte, Kathryn V. Johnston, Facundo A. Gómez +2
We present N-body simulations of a Sagittarius-like dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr) that follow its orbit about the Milky Way (MW) since its first crossing of the Galaxy's virial rad…
Origin of chemically distinct discs in the Auriga cosmological simulations
Robert J. J. Grand, Sebastián Bustamante, Facundo A. Gómez +7
The stellar disk of the Milky Way shows complex spatial and abundance structure that is central to understanding the key physical mechanisms responsible for shaping our Galaxy. In…
Quenching and ram pressure stripping of simulated Milky Way satellite galaxies
Christine M. Simpson, Robert J. J. Grand, Facundo A. Gómez +5
We present predictions for the quenching of star formation in satellite galaxies of the Local Group from a suite of 30 cosmological zoom simulations of Milky Way-like host galaxies…
Lessons from the Auriga discs: The hunt for the Milky Way's ex-situ disc is not yet over
Facundo A. Gómez, Robert J. J. Grand, Antonela Monachesi +7
We characterize the contribution from accreted material to the galactic discs of the Auriga Project, a set of high resolution magnetohydrodynamic cosmological simulations of late-t…
