An observational test for star formation prescriptions in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations
Tobias Buck, Aaron A. Dutton, Andrea V. Macciò
State-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation have reached the point at which their outcomes result in galaxies with ever more realism. Still, the em…
A deeper look into the structure of ΛCDM haloes: correlations between halo parameters from Einasto fits
Silviu M. Udrescu, Aaron A. Dutton, Andrea V. Macciò +1
We used high resolution dark matter only cosmological simulations to investigate the structural properties of Lambda Cold Dark Matter (CDM) haloes over cosmic time. The haloes i…
NIHAO XX: The impact of the star formation threshold on the cusp-core transformation of cold dark matter haloes
Aaron A. Dutton, Andrea V. Macciò, Tobias Buck +3
We use cosmological hydrodynamical galaxy formation simulations from the NIHAO project to investigate the impact of the threshold for star formation on the response of the dark mat…
Stars behind bars II: A cosmological formation scenario for the Milky Way's central stellar structure
Tobias Buck, Melissa Ness, Aura Obreja +2
The stellar populations in the inner kiloparsecs of the Milky Way (MW) show complex kinematical and chemical structures. The origin and evolution of these structures is still under…
Introducing galactic structure finder: the multiple stellar kinematic structures of a simulated Milky Way mass galaxy
Aura Obreja, Andrea V. Macciò, Benjamin Moster +4
We present the first results of applying Gaussian Mixture Models in the stellar kinematic space of normalized angular momentum and binding energy on NIHAO high resolution galaxies…
NIHAO XVI: The properties and evolution of kinematically selected discs, bulges and stellar haloes
Aura Obreja, Aaron A. Dutton, Andrea V. Macciò +6
We use 25 simulated galaxies from the NIHAO project to define and characterize a variety of kinematic stellar structures: thin and thick discs, large scale single discs, classical…
