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…
Formation and accretion history of terrestrial planets from runaway growth through to late time: implications for orbital eccentricity
Ryuji Morishima, Max W. Schmidt, Joachim Stadel +1
Remnant planetesimals might have played an important role in reducing the orbital eccentricities of the terrestrial planets after their formation via giant impacts. However, the po…
Discreteness Effects in Lambda Cold Dark Matter Simulations: A Wavelet-Statistical View
Alessandro B. Romeo, Oscar Agertz, Ben Moore +1
The effects of particle discreteness in N-body simulations of Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LambdaCDM) are still an intensively debated issue. In this paper we explore such effects, tak…
The formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies and nucleated dwarf galaxies
Tobias Goerdt, Ben Moore, Stelios Kazantzidis +3
Ultra compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) have similar properties as massive globular clusters or the nuclei of nucleated galaxies. Recent observations suggesting a high dark matter cont…
The Causes of Halo Shape Changes Induced by Cooling Baryons: Disks Versus Substructures
Victor P. Debattista, Ben Moore, Thomas Quinn +5
Cold dark matter cosmogony predicts triaxial dark matter halos, whereas observations find quite round halos. This is most likely due to the condensation of baryons leading to round…
The Cosmic Code Comparison Project
Katrin Heitmann, Zarija Lukic, Patricia Fasel +11
Current and upcoming cosmological observations allow us to probe structures on smaller and smaller scales, entering highly nonlinear regimes. In order to obtain theoretical predict…
