The basis of my project was to see what we can learn about the formation of the Milky Way halo by studying its low mass satellites.

We present Symphony, a compilation of 262 cosmological, cold-dark-matter-only zoom-in simulations spanning four decades of host halo mass, from 10 ¹¹ –10 ¹⁵ M ⊙ . This compilation includes three existing simulation suites at the cluster and Milky Way–mass scales, and two new suites: 39 Large Magellanic Cloud-mass (10 ¹¹ M ⊙ ) and 49 strong-lens-ana...
We perform a structural decomposition of galaxies identified in three cosmological hydrodynamical simulations by applying Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) to the kinematics of their stellar particles. We study the resulting disc, bulge, and intra-halo light (IHL) components of galaxies whose host dark matter haloes have virial masses in the range $M_...
A recent study conducted using CALIFA survey data (Lee et al, 2019b) has found that the orbital motions of neighbor galaxies are coherent with the spin direction of a target galaxy on scales of many Megaparsecs. We study this so called `large-scale coherence' phenomena using N-body cosmological simulations. We confirm a strong coherence signal with...
In the two-phase scenario of galaxy formation, a galaxy's stellar mass growth is first dominated by in-situ star formation, and subsequently by accretion. We analyse the radial distribution of the accreted stellar mass in ~500 galaxies from the hydrodynamical cosmological simulation Magneticum. Generally, we find good agreement with other simulatio...
We analyze and compare the satellite halo populations at z ∼ 2 in the high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a 10 ¹² M ⊙ target halo ( z = 0 mass) carried out on eight widely used astrophysical simulation codes ( Art-I , Enzo , Ramses , Changa , Gadget-3 , Gear , Arepo-t , and Gizmo ) for the AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Co...
