Velocity-dependent J-factors for Milky Way dwarf spheroidal analogues in cosmological simulations (2023)
Journal Article
Blanchette, K., Piccirillo, E., Bozorgnia, N., Strigari, L. E., Fattahi, A., Frenk, C. S., Navarro, J. F., & Sawala, T. (2023). Velocity-dependent J-factors for Milky Way dwarf spheroidal analogues in cosmological simulations. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023(03), Article 021. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2023/03/021

We study the impact of the dark matter velocity distribution modelling on signals from velocity-dependent dark matter annihilation in Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Using the high resolution APOSTLE simulations, we identify analogues correspond... Read More about Velocity-dependent J-factors for Milky Way dwarf spheroidal analogues in cosmological simulations.

Unravelling the mass spectrum of destroyed dwarf galaxies with the metallicity distribution function (2023)
Journal Article
Deason, A. J., Koposov, S. E., Fattahi, A., & Grand, R. J. (2023). Unravelling the mass spectrum of destroyed dwarf galaxies with the metallicity distribution function. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 520(4), 6091-6103. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad535

Accreted stellar populations are comprised of the remnants of destroyed galaxies, and often dominate the ‘stellar haloes’ of galaxies such as the Milky Way (MW). This ensemble of external contributors is a key indicator of the past assembly history o...
