Survivors and Zombies: The Quenching and Disruption of Satellites around Milky Way Analogs
Debosmita Pathak, Charlotte R. Christensen, Alyson M. Brooks +3
It is necessary to understand the full accretion history of the Milky Way in order to contextualize the properties of observed Milky Way satellite galaxies and the stellar halo. Th…
The Merger-Driven Formation of Classical Low Surface Brightness Galaxies in Romulus25
Anna C. Wright, Alyson M. Brooks, Michael Tremmel +3
We use the Romulus25 cosmological simulation volume to study a large sample of late-type gas-rich galaxies with low central surface brightnesses known as classical low surface brig…
Are Gas-rich Ultra-diffuse Galaxies and Field Dwarfs Distinct?
Khadeejah Motiwala, Ananthan Karunakaran, Kristine Spekkens +5
We explore the differences in gas-rich field Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) and classical dwarf galaxies using an extensive atomic gas (HI) follow-up survey of optically-selected UD…
Figuring Out Gas & Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE) VIII: Complex and Stochastic Metallicity Gradients at z > 2
Ayan Acharyya, Molly S. Peeples, Jason Tumlinson +7
Gas-phase metallicity gradients are a crucial element in understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies. We use the FOGGIE simulations to study the metallicity gradients ($\nabla…
