I am one of the Co-PIs of the Constrained Local Universe Simulations -CLUES- a set of cosmological simulations of our Local Group of galaxies with constrained initial conditions.
These are the ideal test bench to study galaxy formation in our local neighborhood.

Interests:
Ultra diffuse and low surface brightness galaxies.
Mass-discrepancy acceleration relation.
Running high resolution, hydrodynamical simulations of the Local Group with Constrained Initial Conditions and up-to-date stellar feedback.
Understanding how different types of feedback influence galaxy formation simulations.
Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation: isolated galaxies (MAGICC and NIHAO project) and constrained Local Group simulations (CLUES project).
LCDM problems at small scales: cusp/core discrepancy, missing satellites and too-big-to-fail problem.
Star formation history in Local Group satellite galaxies: the impact of environment and infalling.
Role of baryonic feedback in shaping the dark matter density profile of galaxies: theoretical predictions for populations of galaxies
We show the time evolution of 2 star formation enhanced satellite galaxies (IDs 17 and 795, top) and one unchanged/suppresed (ID 387, bottom) from the CLUES simulations.These movies are intended as complementary material associated to the publication Di Cintio+2021.They have been made using the publicly available SPH-viewer code, which can be downloaded in github.
