We present and analyse mock stellar catalogues that match the selection criteria and observables (including uncertainties) of the Gaia satellite data release 2 (DR2). The source are six cosmological high-resolution magneto-hydrodynamic ΛCDM zoom simu... Read More about Aurigaia: mock Gaia DR2 stellar catalogues from the Auriga cosmological simulations.

Globular clusters versus dark matter haloes in strong lensing observations (2018)
Journal Article
He, Q., Li, R., Lim, S., Frenk, C., Cole, S., Peng, E., & Wang, Q. (2018). Globular clusters versus dark matter haloes in strong lensing observations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 480(4), 5084-5091. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2260

Small distortions in the images of Einstein rings or giant arcs offer the exciting prospect of detecting low mass dark matter haloes or subhaloes of mass below 109 M⊙ (for independent haloes, the mass refers to M200, and for subhaloes, the mass refer...

What to expect from dynamical modelling of galactic haloes II: the spherical Jeans equation (2018)
Journal Article
Wang, W., Han, J., Cole, S., More, S., Frenk, C., & Schaller, M. (2018). What to expect from dynamical modelling of galactic haloes II: the spherical Jeans equation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 476(4), 5669-5680. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty706

The spherical Jeans equation (SJE) is widely used in dynamical modelling of the Milky Way (MW) halo potential. We use haloes and galaxies from the cosmological Millennium-II simulation and hydrodynamical APOSTLE simulations to investigate the perform...
