Utilising hydrodynamic + N-body simulations, we present the first holistic view of minor mergers of galaxy clusters. A minor merger describes the merging of a main cluster and a less massive subhalo, this could be a subcluster, group or an elliptical...

Impact of observational selection functions on simulated age and metallicity distributions (2019)
Thesis
Atkin, D. (2019). Impact of observational selection functions on simulated age and metallicity distributions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222148

I use a novel approach to close the gap between observations and simulations of stellar abundance and ages by comparing observational data from Gaia-ESO 4th release (GES-iDR4) with that of a Milky Way-like galaxy simulation. The simulation is brought... Read More about Impact of observational selection functions on simulated age and metallicity distributions.
