The Impact of Cosmic Rays on Thermal Instability in the Circumgalactic Medium
Iryna S. Butsky, Drummond B. Fielding, Christopher C. Hayward +3
Large reservoirs of cold (~ 10^4 K) gas exist out to and beyond the virial radius in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of all types of galaxies. Photoionization modeling suggests tha…
Ultra-faint dwarfs in a Milky Way context: Introducing the Mint Condition DC Justice League Simulations
Elaad Applebaum, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte R. Christensen +4
We present results from the "Mint" resolution DC Justice League suite of Milky Way-like zoom-in cosmological simulations, which extend our study of nearby galaxies down into the ul…
Revisiting dynamical friction: the role of global modes and local wakes
Tomas Tamfal, Lucio Mayer, Thomas R. Quinn +4
The orbital decay of a perturber within a larger system plays a key role in the dynamics of many astrophysical systems -- from nuclear star clusters or globular clusters in galaxie…
Inside Out and Upside-Down: The Roles of Gas Cooling and Dynamical Heating in Shaping the Stellar Age-Velocity Relation
Jonathan C. Bird, Sarah R. Loebman, David H. Weinberg +3
Kinematic studies of disk galaxies, using individual stars in the Milky Way or statistical studies of global disk kinematics over time, provide insight into how disks form and evol…
The Formation of Isolated Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in Romulus25
Anna C. Wright, Michael Tremmel, Alyson M. Brooks +4
We use the \textsc{Romulus25} cosmological simulation volume to identify the largest-ever simulated sample of {\it field} ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). At , we find that isol…
Self-Interacting Dark Matter and the Delay of Super-Massive Black Hole Growth
Akaxia Cruz, Andrew Pontzen, Marta Volonteri +6
Using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with physically motivated models of super-massive black hole (SMBH) formation and growth, we compare the assembly of Milky Way-mass ( $M…
