The galaxy morphology-density relation in the EAGLE simulation

Joel Pfeffer, Mitchell K. Cavanagh, Kenji Bekki +4

The optical morphology of galaxies is strongly related to galactic environment, with the fraction of early-type galaxies increasing with local galaxy density. In this work we prese…

Globular cluster metallicity distributions in the E-MOSAICS simulations

Joel Pfeffer, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Nate Bastian +2

The metallicity distributions of globular cluster (GC) systems in galaxies are a critical test of any GC formation scenario. In this work, we investigate the predicted GC metallici…

Constraining the shape of dark matter haloes with globular clusters

Marta Reina-Campos, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Joel L. Pfeffer +4

We explore how diffuse stellar light and globular clusters (GCs) can be used to trace the matter distribution of their host halo using an observational methodology. For this, we us…

Introducing EMP-Pathfinder: modelling the simultaneous formation and evolution of stellar clusters in their host galaxies

Marta Reina-Campos, Benjamin W. Keller, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +5

The formation and evolution of stellar clusters is intimately linked to that of their host galaxies. To study this connection, we present the EMP-Pathfinder suite of cosmological z…

The present-day globular cluster kinematics of lenticular galaxies from the E-MOSAICS simulations and their relation to the galaxy assembly histories

Arianna Dolfi, Joel Pfeffer, Duncan A. Forbes +5

We study the present-day rotational velocity () and velocity dispersion () profiles of the globular cluster (GC) systems in a sample of 50 lenticular (S0) galaxies from…

The age gradients of galaxies in EAGLE: outside-in quenching as the origin of young bulges in cluster galaxies

Joel Pfeffer, Kenji Bekki, Warrick J. Couch +2

Many disc galaxies in clusters have been found with bulges of similar age or younger than their surrounding discs, at odds with field galaxies of similar morphology and their expec…
