Conserved actions, maximum entropy and dark matter halos
Andrew Pontzen, Fabio Governato
We use maximum entropy arguments to derive the phase space distribution of a virialized dark matter halo. Our distribution function gives an improved representation of the end prod…
The coupling between the core/cusp and missing satellite problems
Jorge Peñarrubia, Andrew Pontzen, Matthew G. Walker +1
We calculate the energy that baryons must inject in cold dark matter (CDM) haloes in order to remove centrally-divergent DM cusps on scales relevant to observations of dwarf sphero…
Baryons Matter: Why Luminous Satellite Galaxies Have Reduced Central Masses
Adi Zolotov, Alyson M. Brooks, Beth Willman +7
Using high resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-massed disk galaxies, we demonstrate that supernovae feedback and tidal stripping lower the central masse…
Cusp-core transformations in dwarf galaxies: observational predictions
Romain Teyssier, Andrew Pontzen, Yohan Dubois +1
The presence of a dark matter core in the central kiloparsec of many dwarf galaxies has been a long standing problem in galaxy formation theories based on the standard cold dark ma…
