Galactic angular momentum in cosmological zoom-in simulations. I. Disk and bulge components and the galaxy--halo connection
Aleksandra Sokolowska, Pedro R. Capelo, S. Michael Fall +3
We investigate the angular momentum evolution of four disk galaxies residing in Milky Way-sized halos formed in cosmological zoom-in simulations with various sub-grid physics and m…
Chemical enrichment of stars due to accretion from ISM during the Galaxy's assembly
Sijing Shen, Girish Kulkarni, Piero Madau +1
Using the Eris zoom-in cosmological simulation of assembly of a Milky Way analog, we study chemical enrichment of stars due to accretion of metal-enriched gas from the interstellar…
A survey of dual active galactic nuclei in simulations of galaxy mergers: frequency and properties
Pedro R. Capelo, Massimo Dotti, Marta Volonteri +3
We investigate the simultaneous triggering of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in merging galaxies, using a large suite of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations. We compute dual-A…
The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. II: Isolated Disk Test
Ji-hoon Kim, Oscar Agertz, Romain Teyssier +40
Using an isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy simulation, we compare results from 9 state-of-the-art gravito-hydrodynamics codes widely used in the numerical community. We utilize the in…
The effects of host galaxy properties on merging compact binaries detectable by LIGO
Richard O'Shaughnessy, Jillian Bellovary, Alyson Brooks +3
Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation can produce present-day galaxies with a large range of assembly and star formation histories. A detailed study of the metallicity evolu…
DDO216-A1: a central globular cluster in a low-luminosity transition type galaxy
Andrew A. Cole, Daniel R. Weisz, Evan D. Skillman +11
We confirm that the object DDO216-A1 is a substantial globular cluster at the center of Local Group galaxy DDO216 (the Pegasus dwarf irregular), using Hubble Space Telescope ACS im…
