The hierarchical model of galaxy formation predicts that the Milky Way halo is populated by
tidal debris of dwarf galaxies and globular clusters. Due to long dynamical times, debris from …

We describe a public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy
formation (available at http://flathub. flatironinstitute. org/fire) from the Feedback In Realistic …

We present the first detailed comparison of populations of dwarf galaxy stellar streams in
cosmological simulations and the Milky Way. In particular, we compare streams identified …

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 …

Understanding the evolution of satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) and M31 requires
modelling their orbital histories across cosmic time. Many works that model satellite orbits …

The shape and orientation of dark matter (DM) halos are sensitive to the microphysics of the
DM particles, yet in many mass models, the symmetry axes of the Milky Way's DM halo are …

Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a corotating thin plane of
satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging …

We construct time-evolving gravitational potential models for a Milky Way–mass galaxy from
the FIRE-2 suite of cosmological-baryonic simulations using basis function expansions …

Dark matter subhalos are predicted to perturb stellar streams; stream morphologies and
dynamics can, therefore, constrain the mass distribution of subhalos. Using FIRE-2 …

ABSTRACT The Milky Way's (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with
highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the 'last major merger.'Hypotheses for the origin of …
