The survival of globular clusters in a cuspy Fornax
Shi Shao, Marius Cautun, Carlos S. Frenk +5
It has long been argued that the radial distribution of globular clusters (GCs) in the Fornax dwarf galaxy requires its dark matter halo to have a core of size kpc. We rev…
Linking globular cluster formation at low and high redshift through the age-metallicity relation in E-MOSAICS
Danny Horta, Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer +4
We set out to compare the age-metallicity relation (AMR) of massive clusters from Magellanic Cloud mass galaxies in the E-MOSAICS suite of numerical cosmological simulations with a…
The Accreted Nuclear Clusters of the Milky Way
Joel Pfeffer, Carmela Lardo, Nate Bastian +2
A number of the massive clusters in the halo, bulge and disc of the Galaxy are not genuine globular clusters (GCs), but instead are different beasts altogether. They are the remnan…
Evidence from APOGEE for the presence of a major building block of the halo buried in the inner Galaxy
Danny Horta, Ricardo P. Schiavon, J. Ted Mackereth +13
We report evidence from APOGEE for the presence of a new metal-poor stellar structure located within 4~kpc of the Galactic centre. Characterised by a chemical composition res…
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…
