Too dense to go through: The importance of low-mass clusters for satellite quenching

Diego Pallero, Facundo A. Gómez, Nelson D. Padilla +3

We study the evolution of satellite galaxies in clusters of the \textsc{c-eagle} simulations, a suite of 30 high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations based on…

The mass of the Milky Way out to 100 kpc using halo stars

Alis J. Deason, Denis Erkal, Vasily Belokurov +9

We use a distribution function analysis to estimate the mass of the Milky Way out to 100 kpc using a large sample of halo stars. These stars are compiled from the literature, and t…

The effect of magnetic fields on properties of the circumgalactic medium

Freeke van de Voort, Rebekka Bieri, Rüdiger Pakmor +3

We study the effect of magnetic fields on a simulated galaxy and its surrounding gaseous halo, or circumgalactic medium (CGM), within cosmological 'zoom-in' simulations of a Milky…

Stellar populations across galaxy bars in the MUSE TIMER project

Justus Neumann, Francesca Fragkoudi, Isabel Pérez +15

Stellar populations in barred galaxies save an imprint of the influence of the bar on the host galaxy's evolution. We present a detailed analysis of star formation histories (SFHs)…

The Orbital Histories of Magellanic Satellites Using Gaia DR2 Proper Motions

Ekta Patel, Nitya Kallivayalil, Nicolas Garavito-Camargo +6

With the release of Gaia DR2, it is now possible to measure the proper motions (PMs) of the lowest mass, ultra-faint satellite galaxies in the Milky Way's (MW) halo for the first t…

Sausage & Mash: The dual origin of the Galactic thick disc and halo from the gas-rich Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage merger

Robert J. J. Grand, Daisuke Kawata, Vasily Belokurov +6

We analyse a set of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of the formation of Milky Way-mass galaxies identified to have a prominent radially anisotropic stellar halo compo…
