Tracing the Quenching History in Galaxy Clusters in the EAGLE Simulation

Diego Pallero, Facundo A. Gómez, Nelson D. Padilla +4

We use the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation to trace the quenching history of galaxies in its 10 most massive clusters. We use two criteria to identify moments when galaxies suffer…

On the correlation between the local dark matter and stellar velocities

Nassim Bozorgnia, Azadeh Fattahi, David G. Cerdeno +5

The dark matter velocity distribution in the Solar neighbourhood is an important astrophysical input which enters in the predicted event rate of dark matter direct detection experi…

The velocity anisotropy of the Milky Way satellite system

Alexander H. Riley, Azadeh Fattahi, Andrew B. Pace +9

We analyse the orbital kinematics of the Milky Way (MW) satellite system utilizing the latest systemic proper motions for 38 satellites based on data from Gaia Data Release 2. Comb…

The mass of the Milky Way from satellite dynamics

Thomas Callingham, Marius Cautun, Alis J. Deason +6

We present and apply a method to infer the mass of the Milky Way (MW) by comparing the dynamics of MW satellites to those of model satellites in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamic…

Footprints of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy in the data set

Chervin F. P. Laporte, Ivan Minchev, Kathryn V. Johnston +1

We analyse an N-body simulation of the interaction of the Milky Way (MW) with a Sagittarius-like dSph (Sgr), looking for signatures which may be attributed to its orbital history i…

Aurigaia: mock Gaia DR2 stellar catalogues from the Auriga cosmological simulations

Robert J. J. Grand, John Helly, Azadeh Fattahi +12

We present and analyse mock stellar catalogues that match the selection criteria and observables (including uncertainties) of the Gaia satellite data release 2 (DR2). The source ar…
