Modeling the Milky-Way Satellite galaxies
X. Kang
We revisit the Milky Way satellite problem using a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation and compare the predicted luminosity function to recent result from the SDSS. With cosm…
New Constraints on the Efficiencies of Ram-Pressure Stripping and the Tidal Disruption of Satellite Galaxies
X. Kang, Frank C. van den Bosch
Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) it has recently been shown that the red fraction of satellite galaxies increases with stellar mass. Semi-analytical models, howe…
The Milky Way's Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal Branch Stars
X. -X. Xue, H. -W. Rix, G. Zhao +14
We derive new constraints on the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, based on a set of halo stars from SDSS as kinematic tracers. Our sample comprises 2401 rigorously selecte…
Is the Number of Giant Arcs in LCDM Consistent With Observations?
G. L. Li, S. Mao, Y. P. Jing +3
We use high-resolution N-body simulations to study the galaxy-cluster cross-sections and the abundance of giant arcs in the CDM model. Clusters are selected from the simulations…
Are Great Disks Defined by Satellite Galaxies in Milky-Way Type Halos Rare in CDM model?
X. Kang, S. Mao, L. Gao +1
We study the spatial distribution of satellite galaxies by assuming that they follow the dark matter distribution. This assumption is supported by semi-analytical studies based on…
