Cuspy No More: How Outflows Affect the Central Dark Matter and Baryon Distribution in Lambda CDM Galaxies
Fabio Governato,Adi Zolotov,Andrew Pontzen,Charlotte Christensen,Se-Heon Oh,Alyson Brooks,Thomas R. Quinn,Sijing Shen,James Wadsley +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the evolution of the inner dark matter (DM) and baryonic density profile of simulated field galaxies using fully cosmological, Lambda CDM, high resolution SPH + N-Body simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Accretion Origin of the Milky Way’s Stellar Halo
Eric F. Bell,Daniel B. Zucker,Vasily Belokurov,Sanjib Sharma,Kathryn V. Johnston,James S. Bullock,David W. Hogg,Knud Jahnke,Jelte T. A. de Jong,Timothy C. Beers,Nick Evans,Eva K. Grebel,Eva K. Grebel,Željko Ivezić,Sergey E. Koposov,Hans-Walter Rix,Donald P. Schneider,Matthias Steinmetz,Adi Zolotov +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 to explore the overall structure and substructure of the stellar halo of the Milky Way using ~4 million color-selected main-sequence turnoff stars.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 to explore the overall structure and substructure of the stellar halo of the Milky Way using about 4 million color-selected main sequence turnoff stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baryons matter: why luminous satellite galaxies have reduced central masses
Adi Zolotov,Alyson Brooks,Beth Willman,Fabio Governato,Andrew Pontzen,Charlotte Christensen,Avishai Dekel,Thomas P. Quinn,Sijing Shen,James Wadsley +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-massed disk galaxies are used to demonstrate that supernovae feedback and tidal stripping lower the central masses of bright (15 < MV < 8) satellite galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dual origin of stellar halos
Adi Zolotov,Adi Zolotov,Beth Willman,Alyson Brooks,Fabio Governato,Chris B. Brook,David W. Hogg,Thomas P. Quinn,Greg Stinson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of the stellar halos of four simulated disk galaxies using high-resolution, cosmological SPH + N-body simulations is investigated, and the authors find that the two galaxies with recently quiescent merger histories have a higher fraction of in situ stars (20%-50%) in their inner halos than those with many recent mergers (5%-10% in situ fraction).
