Disc-Halo Interactions in ΛCDM
Jacob S. Bauer, Lawrence M. Widrow, Denis Erkal
We present a new method for embedding a stellar disc in a cosmological dark matter halo and provide a worked example from a ΛCDM zoom-in simulation. The disc is inserted into the h…
Structured star formation in the Magellanic inter-Cloud region
A. D. Mackey, S. E. Koposov, G. S. Da Costa +5
We use a new contiguous imaging survey conducted using the Dark Energy Camera to investigate the distribution and properties of young stellar populations in the Magellanic inter-Cl…
The first all-sky view of the Milky Way stellar halo with Gaia+2MASS RR Lyrae
G. Iorio, V. Belokurov, D. Erkal +3
We exploit the first \gaia data release to study the properties of the Galactic stellar halo as traced by RR Lyrae. We demonstrate that it is possible to select a pure sample of RR…
A Magellanic Origin of the DES Dwarfs
Prashin Jethwa, Denis Erkal, Vasily Belokurov
We establish the connection between the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) and the dwarf galaxy candidates discovered in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) by building a dynamical model of the MC s…
Discy dwarf disruption and the shape of the Galactic halo
S. L. J. Gibbons, V. Belokurov, D. Erkal +1
The shape of the Galactic dark halo can, in principle, be inferred through modelling of stellar tidal streams in the Milky Way halo. The brightest and the longest of these, the Sag…
