An EAGLE's View of Ex-situ Galaxy Growth

Thomas A. Davison, Mark A. Norris, Joel L. Pfeffer +2

Modern observational and analytic techniques now enable the direct measurement of star formation histories and the inference of galaxy assembly histories. However, current theoreti…

Where did the globular clusters of the Milky Way form? Insights from the E-MOSAICS simulations

Benjamin W. Keller, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Joel Pfeffer +5

Globular clusters (GCs) are typically old, with most having formed at z >~ 2. This makes understanding their birth environments difficult, as they are typically too distant to obse…

The globular cluster system mass-halo mass relation in the E-MOSAICS simulations

Nate Bastian, Joel Pfeffer, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +3

Linking globular clusters (GCs) to the assembly of their host galaxies is an overarching goal in GC studies. The inference of tight scaling relations between GC system properties a…

Kraken reveals itself -- the merger history of the Milky Way reconstructed with the E-MOSAICS simulations

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Joel L. Pfeffer, Mélanie Chevance +6

Globular clusters (GCs) formed when the Milky Way experienced a phase of rapid assembly. We use the wealth of information contained in the Galactic GC population to quantify the pr…

The building blocks of the Milky Way halo using APOGEE and Gaia -- or -- Is the Galaxy a typical galaxy?

Ricardo P. Schiavon, J. Ted Mackereth, Joel Pfeffer +2

We summarise recent results from analysis of APOGEE/Gaia data for stellar populations in the Galactic halo, disk, and bulge, leading to constraints on the contribution of dwarf gal…

The [α/Fe]-[Fe/H] relation in the E-MOSAICS simulations: its connection to the birth place of globular clusters and the fraction of globular cluster field stars in the bulge

Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer, Marie Martig +4

The α-element abundances of the globular cluster (GC) and field star populations of galaxies encode information about the formation of each of these components. We use the E-MOSAIC…
