Journal ArticleDOI
Axion dark matter, solitons and the cusp–core problem
David J. E. Marsh,Ana-Roxana Pop +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Schrodinger-Poisson system is used to explore the possible density profiles of solitons composed of ultra-light axions and a fit to stellar-kinematical data of dwarf spheroidal galaxies is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulations and theory of ion injection at non-relativistic collisionless shocks
TL;DR: In this article, the fraction of ions that are accelerated to non-thermal energies at non-relativistic collisionless shocks is characterized using kinetic hybrid simulations, and the minimum energy needed for injection into diffusive shock acceleration is calculated as a function of the shock inclination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and incidence of shell galaxies in the Illustris simulation
Ana-Roxana Pop,Annalisa Pillepich,Annalisa Pillepich,Nicola C. Amorisco,Nicola C. Amorisco,Lars Hernquist +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the formation processes of shell galaxies in the cosmological gravity+hydrodynamics Illustris simulation, and found that shell galaxies formed preferentially through relatively major mergers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas loss in simulated galaxies as they fall into clusters.
TL;DR: High-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic galaxy formation simulations are used to gain insights into how galaxies lose their cold gas at low redshift as they migrate from the field to the high-density regions of clusters of galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulations and Theory of Ion Injection at Non-relativistic Collisionless Shocks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use kinetic hybrid simulations (kinetic ions - fluid electrons) to characterize the fraction of ions that are accelerated to non-thermal energies at non-relativistic collisionless shocks.
