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…
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…
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…
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 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 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…
Simulating cosmological substructure in the solar neighbourhood
Christine M. Simpson, Ignacio Gargiulo, Facundo A. Gómez +8
We explore the predictive power of cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations for stellar phase space substructure and velocity correlations with the Auriga simulations and Aurigaia…
Hunting for the Dark Matter Wake Induced by the Large Magellanic Cloud
Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Gurtina Besla, Chervin F. P Laporte +3
Satellite galaxies are predicted to generate gravitational density wakes as they orbit within the dark matter (DM) halos of their hosts, causing their orbits to decay over time. Th…
