The Observable Properties of Galaxy Accretion Events in Milky Way–like Galaxies in the FIRE-2 Cosmological Simulations

D Horta, EC Cunningham, RE Sanderson… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract In the Λ-Cold Dark Matter model of the universe, galaxies form in part through
accreting satellite systems. Previous works have built an understanding of the signatures of …

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXXV. First Kinematical Clues of Overly Massive Dark Matter Halos in Several Ultradiffuse Galaxies in the Virgo …

E Toloba, LV Sales, S Lim, EW Peng… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of the first complete sample of ultradiffuse galaxies
(UDGs) in the Virgo cluster. We select all UDGs in Virgo that contain at least 10 globular …

Quantifying the Stellar Halo's Response to the LMC's Infall with Spherical Harmonics

EC Cunningham, N Garavito-Camargo… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The vast majority of the mass in the Milky Way (MW) is in dark matter (DM); we therefore
cannot directly observe the MW mass distribution and have to use tracer populations in …

Fast, slow, early, late: quenching massive galaxies at z∼ 0.8

S Tacchella, C Conroy, SM Faber… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the stellar populations for a sample of 161 massive, mainly quiescent
galaxies at< z obs>= 0.8 with deep Keck/DEIMOS rest-frame optical spectroscopy (HALO7D …

Constraints on the assembly history of the Milky Way's smooth, diffuse stellar halo from the metallicity-dependent, radially dominated velocity anisotropy profiles …

SA Bird, XX Xue, C Liu, J Shen, C Flynn… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the anisotropy profile of the Milky Way's smooth, diffuse stellar halo using the
Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) SEGUE blue horizontal branch stars and the …

Stars made in outflows may populate the stellar halo of the Milky Way

S Yu, JS Bullock, A Wetzel… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We study stellar-halo formation using six Milky-Way-mass galaxies in FIRE-2 cosmological
zoom simulations. We find that of the outer (50–300 kpc) stellar halo in each system consists …

Metallicity, Star Formation, and Electron Density - IOPscience This site uses cookies. By …

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXXVII. Distant RR Lyrae Stars and the Milky Way Stellar Halo Out to 300 kpc

Y Feng, P Guhathakurta, EW Peng… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
RR Lyrae stars are standard candles with characteristic photometric variability and serve as
powerful tracers of Galactic structure, substructure, accretion history, and dark matter …

The Baltimore Oriole's Nest: Cool Winds from the Inner and Outer Parts of a Star-forming Galaxy at z= 1.3

W Wang, SA Kassin, SM Faber, DC Koo… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Strong galactic winds are ubiquitous at z≳ 1. However, it is not well-known where inside
galaxies these winds are launched from. We study the cool winds (∼ 10 4 K) in two spatial …

The Neon Gap: Probing Ionization with Dwarf Galaxies at z∼ 1

J Pharo, Y Guo, DC Koo, JC Forbes… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present measurements of [Ne iii] λ3869 emission in z∼ 1 low-mass galaxies taken from
the Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopic surveys HALO7D and DEEPwinds. We identify 167 …
