Effects of Galactic Environment on Size and Dark Matter Content in Low-mass Galaxies

Effects of Galactic Environment on Size and Dark Matter Content in Low-mass Galaxies

We utilize the cosmological volume simulation FIREbox to investigate how a galaxy’s environment influences its size and dark matter content. Our study focuses on approximately 1200 galaxies (886 central and 332 satellite halos) in the low-mass regime, with stellar masses between 10 ^6 and 10 ^9 M _⊙...
