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…
Magnetic field formation in the Milky Way-like disk galaxies of the Auriga project
Ruediger Pakmor, Facundo A. Gomez, Robert J. J. Grand +8
The magnetic fields observed in the Milky~Way and nearby galaxies appear to be in equipartition with the turbulent, thermal, and cosmic ray energy densities, and hence are expected…
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…
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…
Knowing the unknowns: uncertainties in simple estimators of galactic dynamical masses
David J. R. Campbell, Carlos S. Frenk, Adrian Jenkins +7
The observed stellar kinematics of dispersion-supported galaxies are often used to measure dynamical masses. Recently, several analytical relationships between the stellar line-of-…
Vertical disc heating in Milky Way-sized galaxies in a cosmological context
Robert J. J. Grand, Volker Springel, Facundo A. Gómez +4
Vertically extended, high velocity dispersion stellar distributions appear to be a ubiquitous feature of disc galaxies, and both internal and external mechanisms have been proposed…
