Riding the Spiral Waves: Implications of Stellar Migration for the Properties of Galactic Disks
Rok Roškar, Victor P. Debattista, Thomas R. Quinn +2
Stars in disks of spiral galaxies are usually assumed to remain roughly at their birth radii. This assumption is built into decades of modelling of the evolution of stellar populat…
Clues to Radial Migration from the Properties of Outer Disks
Rok Roškar, Victor P. Debattista, Thomas R. Quinn +3
The outer disks of galaxies present a unique laboratory for studying the process of disk formation. A considerable fraction of observed disks exhibit a break in their surface brigh…
Rapid Formation of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Galaxy Mergers with Gas
Lucio Mayer, Stelios Kazantzidis, Piero Madau +3
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are a ubiquitous component of the nuclei of galaxies. It is normally assumed that, following the merger of two massive galaxies, a SMBH binary will…
Disk Galaxy Rotation Curves in Triaxial CDM Halos
E. Hayashi, J. F. Navarro, A. Jenkins +7
We use N-body hydrodynamical simulations to study the structure of disks in triaxial potentials resembling CDM halos. Our analysis focuses on the accuracy of the dark mass distribu…
The fate of LSB galaxies in clusters and the origin of the diffuse intra-cluster light
Ben Moore, George Lake, Joachim Stadel +1
We follow the evolution of disk galaxies within a cluster that forms hierarchically in a standard cold dark matter N-body simulation. At a redshift z=0.5 we select several dark mat…
The Structure and Dynamics of Cold Dark Matter Halos
Ben Moore, Sebastiano Ghigna, Fabio Governato +3
We investigate the internal structure of cold dark matter halos using high resolution N-body simulations. As the mass and force resolution are increased, halo density profiles beco…
