The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project VII. Satellite quenching in zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass halo

Context. Satellite galaxies experience multiple physical processes when interacting with their host halos, often leading to the quenching of star formation. In the Local Group, satellite quenching has been shown to be highly efficient, affecting nearly all ...

Euclid I. Overview of the Euclid mission

Yves Revaz, Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Pascale Jablonka, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Austin Chandler Peel, Michaela Hirschmann, Lucie Anemone Scharré

The current standard model of cosmology successfully describes a variety of measurements, but the nature of its main ingredients, dark matter and dark energy, remains unknown. Euclid is a medium-class mission in the Cosmic Vision 2015–2025 programme of the ...

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. VI. Similarities and Differences in the Circumgalactic Medium

Yves Revaz

We analyze the circumgalactic medium (CGM) for eight commonly-used cosmological codes in the AGORA collaboration. The codes are calibrated to use identical initial conditions, cosmology, heating and cooling, and star formation thresholds, but each evolves ...

Dwarf galaxies as a probe of a primordially magnetized Universe

Yves Revaz, Mahsa Sanati, Jennifer Waltraud Schober

Aims. The true nature of primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) and their role in the formation of galaxies remains elusive. To shed light on these unknowns, we investigated their impact by varying two sets of properties: (i) accounting for the effect of PMFs o ...

Swift : a modern highly parallel gravity and smoothed particle hydrodynamics solver for astrophysical and cosmological applications

Yves Revaz, Matthieu Schaller, Loïc Hausammann, Mladen Ivkovic, Zhen Xiang

Numerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest existing computing systems and exploit state-of-the-art numerical methods and ...

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. V. Satellite Galaxy Populations in a Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation of a Milky Way-Mass Halo

Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann, Alessandro Lupi

We analyze and compare the satellite halo populations at z similar to 2 in the high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a 1012 M circle dot target halo (z = 0 mass) carried out on eight widely used astrophysical simulation codes (Art-I, Enzo, Ra ...

A too-many-dwarf-galaxy-satellites problem in the M 83 group

Yves Revaz, Oliver Müller

Dwarf galaxies in groups of galaxies provide excellent test cases for models of structure formation. This led to a so-called small-scale crisis, including the famous missing-satellites and too-big-to-fail problems. It was suggested that these two problems ...

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IV. Halo and Galaxy Mass Assembly in a Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation at z ≤ 2

Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann

In this fourth paper from the AGORA Collaboration, we study the evolution down to redshift z = 2 and below of a set of cosmological zoom-in simulations of a Milky Way mass galaxy by eight of the leading hydrodynamic simulation codes. We also compare this C ...

How much metal did the first stars provide to the ultra-faint dwarfs?

Yves Revaz, Pascale Jablonka, Mahsa Sanati

Numerical simulations of dwarf galaxies have so far failed to reproduce the observed metallicity-luminosity relation, down to the regime of ultra-faint dwarfs (UFDs). We address this issue by exploring how the first generations of metal-free stars (Pop III ...

A possible dwarf galaxy satellite-of-satellite problem in ?CDM

Yves Revaz, Nick Heesters

Dark matter clusters on all scales, and it is therefore expected that even substructure should host its own substructure. Using the Extragalactic Distance Database, we searched for dwarf-galaxy satellites of dwarf galaxies, that is, satellite-of-satellite ...

Molecular and ionized gas in tidal dwarf galaxies: the spatially resolved star formation relation

Yves Revaz

Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are low-mass objects that form within tidal and/or collisional debris ejected from more massive interacting galaxies. We use CO(1-0) observations from Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and integral-field spectroscopy ...

Stellar metallicity gradients of Local Group dwarf galaxies

Yves Revaz, Pascale Jablonka

Aims. We explore correlations between the strength of metallicity gradients in Local Group dwarf galaxies and their stellar mass, star formation history timescales, and environment. Methods. We performed a homogeneous analysis of literature spectroscopic d ...

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. III. Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation of a Milky Way-mass Halo

Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann, Alessandro Lupi

We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to z = 4 of a 10(12) M (circle dot) halo at z = 0, obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simulation codes (Art-I, Enzo, Ramses, Changa, Gadget-3, Gear, and Gizmo) widely used ...

From dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters: Self-Interacting Dark Matter over 7 orders of magnitude in halo mass

Yves Revaz, Kyrylo Bondarenko

In this paper we study the density profiles of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) haloes spanning the full observable mass range, from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters. Using realistic simulations that model the baryonic physics relevant for galaxy forma ...

Origin of stellar prolate rotation in a cosmologically simulated faint dwarf galaxy

Yves Revaz, Pascale Jablonka

Stellar prolate rotation in dwarf galaxies is rather uncommon, with only two known galaxies in the Local Group showing such feature (Phoenix and And II). Cosmological simulations show that in massive early-type galaxies prolate rotation likely arises from ...
