SUMMARY:ITC Seminar - Michael Tremmel (Yale)
DESCRIPTION:<p>	"The Formation of Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies from Passive Evolution in the RomulusC Galaxy Cluster Simulation"</p><p>	Current cosmological simulations have so far been limited to studying the formation of ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in isolation, or with environmental effects applied artificially. Here I present the first self consistent prediction for the formation of UDGs in a galaxy cluster. With unprecedented resolution, the RomulusC cosmological simulation of a 10^14 Msun galaxy cluster is uniquely able to resolve cluster member galaxies down to 10^7 Msun in halos as small as 3e9 Msun, resulting in 79 UDGs within 1.5 R200 at z = 0. Following the quenching of star formation due to ram pressure removing their gas, dwarf galaxies passively evolve to become UDGs.</p>
