Tracing the first stars and galaxies of the Milky Way
Brendan F. Griffen, Gregory A. Dooley, Alexander P. Ji +3
We use 30 high-resolution dark matter halos of the simulation suite to probe the first stars and galaxies of Milky Way-mass systems. We quantify the environment of th…
An observer's guide to the (Local Group) dwarf galaxies: predictions for their own dwarf satellite populations
Gregory A. Dooley, Annika H. G. Peter, Tianyi Yang +3
A recent surge in the discovery of new ultrafaint dwarf satellites of the Milky Way has inspired the idea of searching for faint satellites, $10^3\, \mathrm{M_{\odot}} < M_* < 10^6…
The role of mergers and halo spin in shaping galaxy morphology
Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Laura V. Sales, Shy Genel +10
Mergers and the spin of the dark matter halo are factors traditionally believed to determine the morphology of galaxies within a CDM cosmology. We study this hypothesis by consi…
Constraining ultra-compact dwarf galaxy formation with galaxy clusters in the local universe
Joel Pfeffer, Michael Hilker, Holger Baumgardt +1
We compare the predictions of a semi-analytic model for ultra-compact dwarf galaxy (UCD) formation by tidal stripping to the observed properties of globular clusters (GCs) and UCDs…
