Journal Article

Using realistic cosmological simulations of Milky Way sized haloes, we study their dynamical state and the accuracy of inferring their mass profiles with steady-state models of dynamical tracers. We use a new method that describes the phase-space dis...

The orbital PDF: general inference of the gravitational potential from steady-state tracers (2015)
Journal Article

We develop two general methods to infer the gravitational potential of a system using steady-state tracers, i.e. tracers with a time-independent phase-space distribution. Combined with the phase-space continuity equation, the time independence implie... Read More about The orbital PDF: general inference of the gravitational potential from steady-state tracers.

Formation of in situ stellar haloes in Milky Way-mass galaxies (2015)
Journal Article

We study the formation of stellar haloes in three Milky Way-mass galaxies using cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations, focusing on the subset of halo stars that form in situ, as opposed to those accreted from satellites. In situ st... Read More about Formation of in situ stellar haloes in Milky Way-mass galaxies.

The chosen few: the low-mass haloes that host faint galaxies (2015)
Journal Article
Sawala, T., Frenk, C. S., Fattahi, A., Navarro, J. F., Theuns, T., Bower, R. G., …Schaye, J. (2016). The chosen few: the low-mass haloes that host faint galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 456(1), 85-97. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2597

Since reionization prevents star formation in most haloes less massive than 3 × 109 M⊙, dwarf galaxies only populate a fraction of existing dark matter haloes. We use hydrodynamic cosmological simulations of the Local Group to study the discriminatin... Read More about The chosen few: the low-mass haloes that host faint galaxies.

The recent detection of a 3.5 keV X-ray line from the centres of galaxies and clusters by Bulbul et al. and Boyarsky et al. has been interpreted as emission from the decay of 7 keV sterile neutrinos which could make up the (warm) dark matter (WDM). A... Read More about The Copernicus Complexio: Statistical Properties of Warm Dark Matter Haloes.
