"Sausage & Mash: the dual origin of the Galactic thick disc and halo from the gas-rich Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage merger"

Rodolfo Smiljanic (CAMK, Warsaw)

The speaker will report on the recent work https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.06009 , where the authors analyse a set of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of the formation of Milky Way-mass galaxies identified to have a prominent radially anisotropic stellar halo component similar to the so-called "Gaia Sausage" found in the Gaia data.
