From Katy Proctor: How responsible is the Milky Way for the end of star formation in its satellite galaxies? Today’s authors investigate with the FIRE-2 simulations. astrobites.org/2022/03/26/sat…

I'm having an amazing time working with Courtney this summer on simulated analogues of the Antlia 2 galaxy! Check out her TAURUS bio below and keep an eye out for her awesome science! 👀🌌🤩

Okay folks, it's time!! This was definitely a labor of love, and something that's been in the works for 4+ years. Inspired by the perfect similarity between #JWST's primary mirror and the Catan board, I present JWST Catan: Explore the Universe #UnfoldTheUniverse 🧵(1/23)

I've got a new paper out today! We studied the kinematics and orbital histories of satellite galaxies around MW-mass galaxies in the FIRE sims: arxiv.org/abs/2208.05977

Happy to share the first paper form PhD student Megan Bary: "The dark side of FIRE: predicting the population of dark matter subhaloes around Milky Way-mass galaxies", arxiv.org/abs/2303.05527 (with Jenna Samuel). Some key takeaways:

I successfully defended yesterday! 🥳 Now that I'm caught up on some much needed sleep, it's time to share a paper that we have out on today's ArXiv: "Hooks & Bends in the Radial Acceleration Relation: Tests for Dark Matter and Challenges for MOND" arxiv.org/abs/2307.09507

Today is paper day! We compared the orbits of satellites of MW-mass galaxies in the FIRE simulations to a static potential model to better understand the uncertainties in the latter. arxiv.org/abs/2309.05708
