The Milky Way's plane of satellites: consistent with CDM
Till Sawala, Marius Cautun, Carlos S. Frenk +7
The "plane of satellites problem" describes the arrangement of the Milky Way's 11 brightest satellite galaxies in a remarkably thin plane, possibly supported by rotation. This is i…
SIBELIUS-DARK: a galaxy catalogue of the Local Volume from a constrained realisation simulation
Stuart McAlpine, John C. Helly, Matthieu Schaller +7
We present SIBELIUS-DARK, a constrained realisation simulation of the local volume to a distance of 200~Mpc from the Milky Way. SIBELIUS-DARK is the first study of the \textit{Simu…
The Star-Formation Properties of the Observed and Simulated AGN Universe: BAT vs EAGLE
Thomas M. Jackson, D. J. Rosario, D. M. Alexander +3
In this paper we present data from 72 low redshift, hard X-ray selected AGN taken from the {\it Swift}-BAT 58 month catalogue. We utilise spectral energy distribution fitting to th…
Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations -- I: Triggered star formation in a cosmological context
David R. Patton, Kieran D. Wilson, Colin J. Metrow +7
We use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to investigate how the specific star formation rates (sSFRs) of massive galaxies depend on…
Galaxy mergers in EAGLE do not induce a significant amount of black hole growth yet do increase the rate of luminous AGN
Stuart McAlpine, Chris M. Harrison, David J. Rosario +4
We investigate the connection between galaxy--galaxy mergers and enhanced black hole (BH) growth using the cosmological hydrodynamical EAGLE simulation. We do this via three method…
The diverse evolutionary pathways of post-starburst galaxies
M. M. Pawlik, S. McAlpine, J. W. Trayford +5
About 35 years ago a class of galaxies with unusually strong Balmer absorption lines and weak emission lines was discovered in distant galaxy clusters. These objects, alternatively…
