Dark Matter Direct Detection with Non-Maxwellian Velocity Structure
M. Kuhlen, N. Weiner, J. Diemand +5
The velocity distribution function of dark matter particles is expected to show significant departures from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. This can have profound effects on the…
Halo Retention and Evolution of Coalescing Compact Binaries in Cosmological Simulations of Structure Formation: Implications for Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
Marcel Zemp, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Jürg Diemand
Merging compact binaries are the one source of gravitational radiation so far identified. Because short-period systems which will merge in less than a Hubble time have already been…
The Structure of Cold Dark Matter Halos: Recent Insights from High Resolution Simulations
Marcel Zemp
We review results from recent high resolution cosmological structure formation simulations, namely the Via Lactea I & II and GHALO projects. These simulations study the formation o…
Simulations of Recoiling Massive Black Holes in the Via Lactea Halo
Javiera Guedes, Piero Madau, Micheal Kuhlen +2
The coalescence of a massive black hole (MBH) binary leads to the gravitational-wave recoil of the system and its ejection from the galaxy core. We have carried out N-body simulati…
The Role of Dwarf Galaxies in Building Large Stellar Halos
Evan N. Kirby, Puragra Guhathakurta, James S. Bullock +10
The hierarchical theory of galaxy formation rests on the idea that smaller galactic structures merge to form the galaxies that we see today. The past decade has provided remarkable…
