The Pristine survey -- XVII. The C-19 stream is dynamically hot and more extended than previously thought

Zhen Yuan, Nicolas F. Martin, Rodrigo A. Ibata +22

The C-19 stream is the most metal poor stellar system ever discovered, with a mean metallicity . Its low metallicity dispersion ( 0.18 at…

The tidal evolution of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal and its globular clusters

Alexandra Borukhovetskaya, Raphael Errani, Julio F. Navarro +2

The dark matter (DM) content of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy inferred from its kinematics is substantially lower than expected from LCDM cosmological simulations. We use N-bo…

The asymptotic tidal remnants of cold dark matter subhalos

Raphaël Errani, Julio F. Navarro

We use N-body simulations to study the evolution of cuspy cold dark matter (CDM) halos in the gravitational potential of a massive host. Tidal mass losses reshape CDM halos, leavin…

Can tides disrupt cold dark matter subhaloes?

Raphaël Errani, Jorge Peñarrubia

The clumpiness of dark matter on sub-kpc scales is highly sensitive to the tidal evolution and survival of subhaloes. In agreement with previous studies, we show that N-body realis…

The Formation of Ultra Diffuse Galaxies in Cored Dark Matter Halos Through Tidal Stripping and Heating

Timothy Carleton, Raphaël Errani, Michael Cooper +3

We propose that the Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy (UDG) population represents a set of satellite galaxies born in M halos, similar to field dwarfs, which suffe…

Systematics in virial mass estimators for pressure-supported systems

Raphaël Errani, Jorge Peñarrubia, Matthew G. Walker

Mass estimators are a key tool to infer the dark matter content in pressure-supported systems like dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). We construct an estimator for enclosed masses…
