The Dual Origin of Stellar Halos (2009)
Zolotov, Adi, Willman, Beth, Brooks, Alyson M., Governato, Fabio, Brook, Chris B., Hogg, David W., ...
We investigate the formation of the stellar halos of four simulated disk galaxies using high-resolution, cosmological SPH + N-body simulations. These simulations include a self-consistent treatment...

Feedback and the Formation of Dwarf Galaxy Stellar Halos (2009)
Stinson, Greg, Dalcanton, Julianne, Quinn, Tom, Gogarten, Stephanie, Kaufmann, Tobias, Wadsley, James
Stellar population studies show that low mass galaxies in all environments exhibit stellar halos that are older and more spherically distributed than the main body of the galaxy. In some cases, there...
Damped Lyman Alpha Systems in Galaxy Formation Simulations (2008)
Pontzen, Andrew, Governato, Fabio, Pettini, Max, Booth, C. M., Stinson, Greg, Wadsley, James, ...
We investigate the population of z=3 damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLAs) in a recent series of high resolution galaxy formation simulations. The simulations are of interest because they form at z=0...
Stinson, Greg, Seth, Anil, Katz, Neal, Wadsley, James, Governato, Fabio, Quinn, Tom
We present an analysis of star formation and feedback recipes appropriate for galactic smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations. Using an isolated Milky Way-like galaxy, we constrain these recipes...
Governato, Fabio, Stinson, Greg, Wadsley, J., Quinn, T.
We used fully cosmological, high resolution N-body+SPH simulations to follow the formation of disk galaxies with a rotational velocity between 140 and 280 Km/sec in a Lambda CDM universe. The...
