We examine the outskirts of galaxy clusters in the C-EAGLE simulations to quantify the ‘edges’ of the stellar and dark matter distribution. The radius of the steepest slope in the dark matter, commonly used as a proxy for the splashback radius, is lo... Read More about Stellar splashback: the edge of the intracluster light.

How Unusual is the Milky Way’s Assembly History? (2020)
Journal Article
Evans, T. A., Fattahi, A., Deason, A. J., & Frenk, C. S. (2020). How Unusual is the Milky Way’s Assembly History?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 497(4), 4311-4321. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2202

In the ΛCDM model of structure formation galactic haloes build up by accretion of mass and mergers of smaller haloes. The most recent massive merger event experienced by the Milky Way (MW) halo was the accretion of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC; wh...
