Toward an accurate mass function for precision cosmology
Darren S. Reed, Robert E. Smith, Doug Potter +3
Cosmological surveys aim to use the evolution of the abundance of galaxy clusters to accurately constrain the cosmological model. In the context of LCDM, we show that it is possibl…
Impact of Dark Matter Microhalos on Signatures for Direct and Indirect Detection
Aurel Schneider, Lawrence M. Krauss, Ben Moore
Detecting dark matter as it streams through detectors on Earth relies on knowledge of its phase space density on a scale comparable to the size of our solar system. Numerical simul…
The Orbital Evolution Induced by Baryonic Condensation in Triaxial Halos
M. Valluri, V. P. Debattista, T. Quinn +1
Using spectral methods, we analyse the orbital structure of prolate/triaxial dark matter (DM) halos in N-body simulations to understand the processes that drive the evolution of sh…
Blue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies II: Sculptor and Fornax
M. Mapelli, E. Ripamonti, G. Battaglia +4
The existence of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) is still an open question. In fact, many BSS candidates have been observed in the Local Group dSph…
Fossil remnants of reionization in the halo of the Milky Way
P. Madau, M. Kuhlen, J. Diemand +4
Our recently completed one billion particle Via Lactea II simulation of a Milky Way-sized dark matter halo resolves over 50,000 gravitationally bound clumps orbiting today within t…
Merger and Ring Galaxy Formation Rates at z<=2
E. D'Onghia, M. Mapelli, B. Moore
We compare the observed merger rate of galaxies over cosmic time and the frequency of collisional ring galaxies (CRGs), with analytic models and halo merger and collision rates fro…
