The evolution of the intergalactic medium
M McQuinn - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
The bulk of cosmic matter resides in a dilute reservoir that fills the space between galaxies,
the intergalactic medium (IGM). The history of this reservoir is intimately tied to the cosmic …

Evidence from the h3 survey that the stellar halo is entirely comprised of substructure
In the ΛCDM paradigm, the Galactic stellar halo is predicted to harbor the accreted debris of
smaller systems. To identify these systems, the H3 Spectroscopic Survey, combined with …

Excluding fuzzy dark matter with sizes and stellar kinematics of ultrafaint dwarf galaxies
N Dalal, A Kravtsov - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We use observations of ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxies to constrain the particle mass of
ultralight dark matter. Potential fluctuations created by wave interference in virialized “fuzzy” …

Reconstructing the last major merger of the Milky Way with the H3 survey
Several lines of evidence suggest that the Milky Way underwent a major merger at z∼ 2 with
the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) galaxy. Here we use H3 Survey data to argue that GSE …

Dark matter cores all the way down
We use high-resolution simulations of isolated dwarf galaxies to study the physics of dark
matter cusp-core transformations at the edge of galaxy formation: M 200= 107–109 M⊙. We …
