The link between galactic satellite orbits and subhalo accretion. (2011)
Journal Article
Lovell, M., Eke, V., Frenk, C., & Jenkins, A. (2011). The link between galactic satellite orbits and subhalo accretion. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 413(4), 3013-3021. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.18377.x

We calculate the orbital angular momentum of dark matter subhaloes in the Aquarius simulations of cold dark matter (CDM) galactic haloes. We calculate the orientation of their angular momentum relative to that of the spin vector of their host halo an... Read More about The link between galactic satellite orbits and subhalo accretion..

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, December). The Millennium Gas Project. Presented at American Institute of Physics International Conference: The monster's fiery breath: feedback in galaxies, groups, and clusters, Madison, Wisconsin

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...
