The Magellanic Clouds are surrounded by an extended network of gaseous structures. Chief
among these is the Magellanic Stream, an interwoven tail of filaments trailing the Clouds in …

Pedestrian and evacuation dynamics provide valuable insights into the understanding of
human collective motion and have important implications for architectural design, safety …

Using high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-massed disk
galaxies, we demonstrate that supernovae feedback and tidal stripping lower the central …

Predictions of the concordance cosmological model (CCM) of the structures in the
environment of large spiral galaxies are compared with observed properties of Local Group …

According to modern theory, galactic evolution is driven by the dynamics of dark matter and
stochastic star formation, but galaxies are observed to be simple systems. The existence of …

ABSTRACT In the Local Group (LG), almost all satellite dwarf galaxies that are within the
virial radius of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) exhibit strong environmental …

The ever increasing size and complexity of data coming from simulations of cosmic structure
formation demand equally sophisticated tools for their analysis. During the past decade, the …

Context. It has been observed that several Milky Way (MW) satellite dwarf galaxies are
distributed along a coherent planar distribution known as the vast polar structure (VPOS) …

The tidal stirring model posits the formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) via the tidal
interactions between late-type, rotationally supported dwarfs and Milky-Way-sized host …

Merger trees follow the growth and merger of dark-matter haloes over cosmic history. As well
as giving important insights into the growth of cosmic structure in their own right, they …
