Resolving Globular Cluster Formation within a Cosmological Context (2009)

Boley, Aaron C., Lake, George, Read, Justin, Teyssier, Romain

We place constraints on the formation redshifts for blue globular clusters (BGCs), independent of the details of hydrodynamics and population III star formation. The observed radial distribution of...

Dark matter disc enhanced neutrino fluxes from the Sun and Earth (2009)

Bruch, Tobias, Peter, Annika H. G., Read, Justin, Baudis, Laura, Lake, George

As disc galaxies form in a hierarchical cosmology, massive merging satellites are preferentially dragged towards the disc plane. The material accreted from these satellites forms a dark matter disc...

Bruch, Tobias, Peter, Annika H. G., Read, Justin, Baudis, Laura, Lake, George

As disc galaxies form in a hierarchical cosmology, massive merging satellites are preferentially dragged towards the disc plane. The material accreted from these satellites forms a dark matter disc...

Properties of Dark Matter Revealed by Astrometric Measurements of the Milky Way and Local Galaxies (2009)

Shaya, Edward, Olling, Robert, Ricotti, Massimo, Vogel, Stuart, Majewski, Steven R., Patterson, Richard J., ...

The fact that dark matter (DM), thus far, has revealed itself only on scales of galaxies and larger, again thrusts onto astrophysics the opportunity and the responsibility to confront the age old...

Agertz, Oscar, Lake, George, Teyssier, Romain, Moore, Ben, Mayer, Lucio, Romeo, Alessandro B.

Observations of turbulent velocity dispersions in the HI component of galactic disks show a characteristic floor in galaxies with low star formation rates and within individual galaxies the...

The Magellanic Group and the Seven Dwarfs (2008)

D'Onghia, Elena, Lake, George

The Magellanic Clouds were the largest members of a group of dwarf galaxies that entered the Milky Way (MW) halo at late times. This group, dominated by the LMC, contained ~4% of the mass of the...

Small Dwarf Galaxies Within Larger Dwarfs: Why Some Are Luminous While Most Go Dark (2008)

We consider the possibility that the Magellanic Clouds were the largest members of a group of dwarf galaxies that entered the Milky Way (MW) halo at late times. Seven of the eleven brightest...

PLANETARY SYSTEM FORMATION (2007)

George Lake, Thomas Quinn, Derek C. Richardson, Joachim Stadel

The orbit of any one planet depends on the combined motion of all the planets, not to mention the actions of all these on each other. To consider simultaneously all these causes of motion and to...

Cold Dark Matter's Small Scale Crisis Grows Up (2003)

The Cold Dark Matter (CDM) theory predicts a wealth of substructure within dark halos. These predictions match observations of galaxy clusters like the nearby Virgo cluster. However, CDM has a "small...

Formation of Proto-Globular Cluster Clouds by Thermal Instability (2000)

Kang, Hyesung, Lake, George, Ryu, Dongsu

Many models of globular cluster formation assume the presence of cold dense clouds in early universe. Here we re-examine the Fall & Rees (1985) model for formation of proto-globular cluster clouds...

Cold collapse and the core catastrophe (1999)

Moore, Ben, Quinn, Tom, Governato, Fabio, Stadel, Joachim, Lake, George

We show that a universe dominated by cold dark matter fails to reproduce the rotation curves of dark matter dominated galaxies, one of the key problems that it was designed to resolve. We perform...

Disturbed spiral galaxies with high rates of star formation pervaded clusters of galaxies just a few billion years ago, but nearby clusters exclude spirals in favor of ellipticals. ``Galaxy...

On the Destruction and Over-Merging of Dark Halos in Dissipationless N-body Simulations (1995)

Moore, Ben, Katz, Neal, Lake, George

N-body simulations that follow only a collisionless dark matter component have failed to produce galaxy halos or substructure within dense environments. We investigate the `over-merging' problem...
