Probing Galaxy Formation with High Energy Gamma-Rays
Joel R. Primack
I discuss how measurements of the absorption of -rays from GeV to TeV energies via pair production on the extragalactic background light (EBL) can probe important issues in gala…
Spin Profile of Galactic Halos and Disk Formation
A. Dekel, J. S. Bullock, C. Porciani +4
We summarize recent developments in the study of the origin of halo spin profiles and preliminary implications on disk formation. The specific angular-momentum distributions within…
Origin and Destiny of Dark Matter Halos: Cosmological Matter Exchange and Metal Enrichment
Tsafrir S. Kolatt, James S. Bullock, Avishai Dekel +4
[Abridged] We analyze the exchange of dark matter between halos, subhalos, and their environments in a high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation of a Lambda CDM cosmology. At…
Interaction rates of dark-matter halos and subhalos
Tsafrir S. Kolatt, James S. Bullock, Yair Sigad +4
[Abridged] The interaction rates of dark-matter halos and subhalos, are computed using high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations of the Lambda-CDM model. Although the number…
Velocity and Mass Functions of Galactic Halos: Evolution and Environmental Dependence
Yair Sigad, Tsafrir S. Kolatt, James S. Bullock +4
We study the distribution functions of mass and circular velocity for dark matter halos in N-body simulations of the CDM cosmology, addressing redshift and environmental depende…
