The distribution and origin of metals in simulated Milky Way-like galaxies
Federico G. Iza, Cecilia Scannapieco, Sebastián E. Nuza +6
In this study, we investigate the distribution and origin of chemical elements in different stellar components of simulated Milky Way-like galaxies in relation to their mass assemb…
Kinematic patterns of the enriched gas phase in the Local Group {\sc Hestia} simulations
L. Biaus, S. E. Nuza, C. Scannapieco +2
Observations of intergalactic absorbers in the Local Group suggest the existence of a velocity dipole in the general barycentre--antibarycentre direction which can be interpreted a…
The distribution of metals in simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies
Federico G. Iza, Sebastián E. Nuza, Cecilia Scannapieco +2
Galaxies form due to the continuous accretion of gaseous material towards the centre of dark matter haloes, which gives rise to stellar discs once the gas reaches high density. Ana…
Enhanced sub-resolution star formation models in cosmological simulations
Ezequiel Lozano, Cecilia Scannapieco, Sebastián E. Nuza +3
One of the crucial components in simulating the growth and evolution of galaxies within a cosmological framework is the modeling of star formation (SF) and its corresponding feedba…
Cosmological gas accretion history onto the stellar discs of Milky Way-like galaxies in the Auriga simulations -- (II) The inside-out growth of discs
Federico G. Iza, Sebastián E. Nuza, Cecilia Scannapieco +6
We investigate the growth of stellar discs in Milky Way-mass galaxies using the magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the Auriga Project in a full cosmological context. We focus on…
