Exo-Milankovitch Cycles I: Orbits and Rotation States
Russell Deitrick, Rory Barnes, Thomas R. Quinn +3
The obliquity of the Earth, which controls our seasons, varies by only ~2.5 degrees over ~40,000 years, and its eccentricity varies by only ~0.05 over 100,000 years. Nonetheless, t…
Dancing to ChaNGa: A Self-Consistent Prediction For Close SMBH Pair Formation Timescales Following Galaxy Mergers
Michael Tremmel, Fabio Governato, Marta Volonteri +2
We present the first self-consistent prediction for the distribution of formation timescales for close Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) pairs following galaxy mergers. Using ROMULUS2…
Gasoline2: A Modern SPH Code
James W. Wadsley, Benjamin W. Keller, Thomas R. Quinn
The methods in the Gasoline2 Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code are described and tested. Gasoline2 is the most recent version of the Gasoline code for parallel hydrodynami…
Quantifying the Origin and Distribution of Intracluster Light in a Fornax-like Cluster
Kathryn A. Harris, Victor P. Debattista, Fabio Governato +9
Using a cosmological -body simulation, we investigate the origin and distribution of stars in the intracluster light (ICL) of a Fornax-like cluster. In a dark matter only simula…
Going, going, gone dark: Quantifying the scatter in the faintest dwarf galaxies
Ferah Munshi, Alyson M. Brooks, Elaad Applebaum +3
We predict the stellar mass-halo mass (SMHM) relationship for dwarf galaxies and their satellites residing in halos down to M 10 M with 10 M$_{\odot} <…
Beta Dips in the Gaia Era: Simulation Predictions of the Galactic Velocity Anisotropy Parameter for Stellar Halos
Sarah R. Loebman, Monica Valluri, Kohei Hattori +7
The velocity anisotropy parameter, beta, is a measure of the kinematic state of orbits in the stellar halo which holds promise for constraining the merger history of the Milky Way…
