Cusp or core? Revisiting the globular cluster timing problem in Fornax
Noah Meadows, Julio F. Navarro, Isabel Santos-Santos +2
We use N-body simulations to revisit the globular cluster (GC) ``timing problem'' in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph). In agreement with earlier work, we find that, due to dynami…
To beta or not to beta: can higher-order Jeans analysis break the mass-anisotropy degeneracy in simulated dwarfs?
Anna Genina, Justin I. Read, Carlos S. Frenk +6
We test a non-parametric higher-order Jeans analysis method, GravSphere, on 32 simulated dwarf galaxies comparable to classical Local Group dwarfs like Fornax. The galaxies are sel…
Baryonic clues to the puzzling diversity of dwarf galaxy rotation curves
Isabel M. E. Santos-Santos, Julio F. Navarro, Andrew Robertson +7
We use a compilation of disc galaxy rotation curves to assess the role of the luminous component ("baryons") in the rotation curve diversity problem. As in earlier work, we find th…
The Milky Way total mass profile as inferred from Gaia DR2
Marius Cautun, Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, Alis J. Deason +7
We determine the Milky Way (MW) mass profile inferred from fitting physically motivated models to the Gaia DR2 Galactic rotation curve and other data. Using various hydrodynamical…
Fluorescent rings in star-free dark matter haloes
Calvin Sykes, Michele Fumagalli, Ryan Cooke +2
Photoheating of the gas in low-mass dark matter (DM) haloes prevents baryons from cooling, leaving the haloes free of stars. Gas in these 'dark' haloes remains exposed to the ultra…
