The central densities of Milky Way-mass galaxies in cold and self-interacting dark matter models

no code implementations24 Feb 2021 Omid Sameie, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Robyn Sanderson, Drona Vargya, Philip Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel, James Bullock, Andrew Graus

We study star formation rates and the shape of dark matter density profiles of the parent haloes in both cold dark matter (CDM) and SIDM models.

Cataloging Accreted Stars within Gaia DR2 using Deep Learning

no code implementations15 Jul 2019 Bryan Ostdiek, Lina Necib, Timothy Cohen, Marat Freytsis, Mariangela Lisanti, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel, Robyn E. Sanderson, Philip F. Hopkins

The goal of this study is to present the development of a machine learning based approach that utilizes phase space alone to separate the Gaia DR2 stars into two categories: those accreted onto the Milky Way from those that are in situ.

Under the Firelight: Stellar Tracers of the Local Dark Matter Velocity Distribution in the Milky Way

no code implementations29 Oct 2018 Lina Necib, Mariangela Lisanti, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel, Robyn Sanderson, Philip F. Hopkins, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Dušan Kereš

Based on results from Gaia, we estimate that $42 ^{+26}_{-22}\%$ of the local dark matter that is accreted from luminous mergers is in debris flow.

Modeling the Impact of Baryons on Subhalo Populations with Machine Learning

1 code implementation12 Dec 2017 Ethan O. Nadler, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa H. Wechsler, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel

We identify subhalos in dark matter-only (DMO) zoom-in simulations that are likely to be disrupted due to baryonic effects by using a random forest classifier trained on two hydrodynamic simulations of Milky Way (MW)-mass host halos from the Latte suite of the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project.

Are Halo and Galaxy Formation Histories Correlated?

1 code implementation25 Jul 2011 Jeremy Tinker, Andrew Wetzel, Charlie Conroy

Using the 4000-A break as a measure of star formation history, we examine the correlation between the quenched fraction of galaxies, f_q, and large-scale environment, rho.
