TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the photometric parallax method to estimate the distances to ~48 million stars detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and map their three-dimensional number density distribution in the Galaxy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the distances to ~48 million stars detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and map their 3D number density distribution in 100 1000deg^2 of sky towards the constellation of Virgo, at distances of ~6-20 kpc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bulgeless dwarf galaxies and dark matter cores from supernova-driven outflows
Fabio Governato,Chris B. Brook,Lucio Mayer,Alyson Brooks,George Rhee,James Wadsley,Patrik Jonsson,Beth Willman,Greg S. Stinson,Thomas R. Quinn,Piero Madau +10 more
TL;DR: Hydrodynamical simulations in a framework assuming the presence of CDM and a cosmological constant are reported in which the inhomogeneous interstellar medium is resolved and the analogues of dwarf galaxies—bulgeless and with shallow central dark-matter profiles—arise naturally in these simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forming disc galaxies in ΛCDM simulations
Fabio Governato,Fabio Governato,Beth Willman,Lucio Mayer,Alyson Brooks,Gregory S. Stinson,Octavio Valenzuela,James Wadsley,Thomas R. Quinn +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used fully cosmological, high-resolution N-body + smooth particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations to follow the formation of disc galaxies with rotational velocities between 135 and 270km s -1 in a cold dark matter (CDM) universe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cuspy no more: How outflows affect the central dark matter and baryon distribution in Λ cold dark matter galaxies
Fabio Governato,Adi Zolotov,Andrew Pontzen,Charlotte Christensen,Se-Heon Oh,Se-Heon Oh,Alyson Brooks,Thomas R. Quinn,Sijing Shen,James Wadsley +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the evolution of the inner dark matter (DM) and baryonic density profile of simulated field galaxies using fully cosmological, CDM, high resolution SPH + N-Body simulations.
