Galactic stellar haloes in the CDM model (2010)
Journal Article
Cooper, A., Cole, S., Frenk, C., White, S., Helly, J., Benson, A., …Wang, J. (2010). Galactic stellar haloes in the CDM model. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 406(2), 744-766. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16740.x

We present six simulations of galactic stellar haloes formed by the tidal disruption of accreted dwarf galaxies in a fully cosmological setting. Our model is based on the Aquarius project, a suite of high-resolution N-body simulations of individual d... Read More about Galactic stellar haloes in the CDM model.

The Millennium Gas Project (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Young, O., Thomas, P., Pearce, F., Short, C., & Jenkins, A. (2009). The Millennium Gas Project. In S. Heinz, & E. Wilcots (Eds.), The monster's fiery breath: feedback in galaxies, groups, and clusters: proceedings of the international conference, Madison, Wisconsin, 1-5 June 2009 (354-357). https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3293075

The Millennium Gas Project aims to resimulate clusters from the Millennium Simulation in order to investigate the effects of a range of different feedback models on the properties of the intracluster medium.

How common is the Milky Way-satellite system alignment? (2009)
Journal Article
Libeskind, N., Frenk, C., Cole, S., Jenkins, A., & Helly, J. (2009). How common is the Milky Way-satellite system alignment?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 399(2), 550-558. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15315.x

The highly flattened distribution of satellite galaxies in the Milky Way (MW) presents a number of puzzles. First, its polar alignment stands out from the planar alignments commonly found in other galaxies. Secondly, recent proper-motion measurements...
