New non-spherical halo solving procedure applied to AGORA simulations shows merger-responsive morphology measures and redshift trends in spin, axis ratio, and overdensity.
Mutual information analysis of TNG50 simulations shows gravitational potential and total energy retain merger mass and infall time information longest, while radial velocity loses it within ~5 Gyr, with washout depending on radius, merger age, and mass.
In TNG-50, 80% of Milky Way-mass galaxies align their present-day angular momentum with the orbital angular momentum of their most massive merger, and 81% of their stellar halos rotate prograde relative to the disk.
Subaru PFS will obtain velocities and abundances for ~18k stars in six dwarfs, 30k in M31, and tens of thousands of outer-MW main-sequence stars to test dark-matter profiles and Local Group assembly.
DESI K-giant catalog identifies Aleph, Sagittarius, GSE, Cetus-Palca and Orphan-Chenab, then shows residual halo high-angular-momentum stars have bimodal MDFs unlike GSE or Sagittarius.
Simulations show that observed rotation in 13.5-Gyr-old alpha-rich stars constrains the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger to mass ratios below 1:4, with interaction and starburst times both near 11 Gyr.
