Spurious heating of stellar motions by dark matter particles in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation

Aaron D. Ludlow, S. Michael Fall, Matthew J. Wilkinson +2

We use two cosmological simulations to study the impact of spurious heating of stellar motions within simulated galaxies by dark matter (DM) particles. The simulations share the sa…

Negligible Effects of Baryons on the Angular Momentum Scaling Relations of Galactic Dark Matter Halos

S. Michael Fall, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez

In cosmological simulations without baryons, the relation between the specific angular momentum and mass of galactic dark matter halos has the well-establis…

The extended Planetary Nebula Spectrograph (ePN.S) early-type galaxy survey: The specific angular momentum of ETGs

C. Pulsoni, O. Gerhard, S. M. Fall +5

Mass and angular momentum are key parameters of galaxies. Their co-evolution establishes an empirical relation between the specific stellar angular momentum j* and the stellar mass…

The impact of spurious collisional heating on the morphological evolution of simulated galactic discs

Matthew J. Wilkinson, Aaron D. Ludlow, Claudia del P. Lagos +3

We use a suite of idealised N-body simulations to study the impact of spurious heating of star particles by dark matter particles on the kinematics and morphology of simulated gala…

Dark matter halos and scaling relations of extremely massive spiral galaxies from extended HI rotation curves

Enrico M. Di Teodoro, Lorenzo Posti, S. Michael Fall +6

We present new and archival atomic hydrogen (\hi) observations of \galnum\ of the most massive spiral galaxies in the local Universe (). From 3…

Galactic angular momentum in the IllustrisTNG simulation -- I. Connection to morphology, halo spin, and black hole mass

Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Shy Genel, S. Michael Fall +9

We use the TNG100 simulation of the IllustrisTNG project to investigate the stellar specific angular momenta () of 12,000 central galaxies at in a full cosmol…
