From theoretical stellar spectra to realistic models of the Milky Way : a never ending Odyssey [PDF]

, 2007
The last chapter is dedicated to the compilation of the results and the discussion about the success of - but also about the problems that have arisen during - and in part also survived - this work. The main goal of this thesis was, firstly, to convert

Origins of the Evil Eye: M64's Stellar Halo Reveals the Recent Accretion of an SMC-mass Satellite

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
M64, often called the “Evil Eye” galaxy, is unique among local galaxies. Beyond its dramatic, dusty nucleus, it also hosts an outer gas disk that counter-rotates relative to its stars.

Stellar halo constraints on simulated late-type galaxies [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004
How do late-type spiral galaxies form within the context of a cold dark matter cosmology? We contrast N-body, smoothed particle hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation that employ two different supernova feedback mechanisms. Observed mass and metallicity distributions of the stellar haloes of the Milky Way and M31 provide constraints on these ...

Hierarchical Galaxy Formation and Substructure in the Galaxy’s Stellar Halo

The Astrophysical Journal, 2001
We develop an explicit model for the formation of the stellar halo from tidally disrupted, accreted dwarf satellites in the cold dark matter (CDM) framework, focusing on predictions testable with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and other wide-field surveys. Subhalo accretion and orbital evolution are calculated using a semi-analytic approach within

Early assembly of the most massive galaxies [PDF]

, 2009
The current consensus is that galaxies begin as small density fluctuations in the early Universe and grow by in situ star formation and hierarchical merging(1).

Secondary evolution of galaxies investigated by N-body simulations [PDF]

, 2008
In the ΛCDM cosmology, merging is one of the most important physical processes that drives the formation and evolution of galaxies. In the present work, we use N-body techniques to investigate some of currently open issues related to the formation and ...

A Lightweight Procedural Layer for Hybrid Experimental–Computational Workflows in Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We unveil a prototype hybrid‐workflow framework that fuses automatedcomputation with hands‐on experiments. Built atop pyiron, a lightweight, parameterized layer translates procedure descriptions into executable manual steps, syncing instrument settings, human interventions, and data capture in real‐time today.

Stellar haloes in Milky Way mass galaxies: from the inner to the outer haloes [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014
We present a comprehensive study of the chemical properties of the stellar haloes of Milky-Way mass galaxies, analysing the transition between the inner to the outer haloes. We find the transition radius between the relative dominance of the inner-halo and outer-halo stellar populations to be ~15-20 kpc for most of our haloes, similar to that inferred ...

The evolution of dark matter substructure [PDF]

, 2001
This thesis investigates the dynamical evolution of systems orbiting within deeper potentials. Initially we use a simple satellite-halo interaction to study the dynamical processes that act on orbiting systems and we compare these results to analytical ...

The Role of Cluster Environments in Quiescent Galaxy Stellar Halo Assembly

The Astrophysical Journal
External interactions drive galaxy stellar mass growth and morphological evolution. As stellar halos—assembled largely via hierarchical accretion—preserve signatures of these processes, their growth probes how environment regulates galaxy evolution.
