The tidal evolution of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal and its globular clusters
Alexandra Borukhovetskaya, Raphael Errani, Julio F. Navarro +2
The dark matter (DM) content of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy inferred from its kinematics is substantially lower than expected from LCDM cosmological simulations. We use N-bo…
Magellanic satellites in CDM cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of the Local Group
Isabel M. E. Santos-Santos, Azadeh Fattahi, Laura V. Sales +1
We use the APOSTLE CDM cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of the Local Group to study the recent accretion of massive satellites into the halo of Milky Way (MW)-sized galax…
An updated detailed characterization of planes of satellites in the MW and M31
Isabel Santos-Santos, Rosa Dominguez-Tenreiro, Marcel S. Pawlowski
We present a detailed characterization of planes of satellite galaxies in the Milky Way (MW) and M31. For a positional analysis, we introduce an extension to the `4-galaxy-normal d…
Planes of satellites around simulated disc galaxies: I.- Finding high-quality planar configurations from positional information and their comparison to MW/M31 data
Isabel Santos-Santos, Rosa Dominguez-Tenreiro, Hector Artal +6
We address the 'plane of satellites problem' by studying planar configurations around two disc galaxies with no late major mergers, formed in zoom-in hydro-simulations. Due to the…
Cusp or core? Revisiting the globular cluster timing problem in Fornax
Noah Meadows, Julio F. Navarro, Isabel Santos-Santos +2
We use N-body simulations to revisit the globular cluster (GC) ``timing problem'' in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph). In agreement with earlier work, we find that, due to dynami…
Baryonic clues to the puzzling diversity of dwarf galaxy rotation curves
Isabel M. E. Santos-Santos, Julio F. Navarro, Andrew Robertson +7
We use a compilation of disc galaxy rotation curves to assess the role of the luminous component ("baryons") in the rotation curve diversity problem. As in earlier work, we find th…
