The Observable Properties of Galaxy Accretion Events in Milky Way–like Galaxies in the FIRE-2 Cosmological Simulations

In the Λ-Cold Dark Matter model of the universe, galaxies form in part through accreting satellite systems. Previous works have built an understanding of the signatures of these processes contained within galactic stellar halos. This work revisits that picture using seven Milky Way–like galaxies in...
