Phase-space structure in the local dark matter distribution and its signature in direct detection experiments

Mark Vogelsberger, Amina Helmi, Volker Springel +6

We study predictions for dark matter phase-space structure near the Sun based on high-resolution simulations of six galaxy halos taken from the Aquarius Project. The local DM densi…

Dark Matter Caustics

Simon D. M. White, Mark Vogelsberger

Caustics are a generic feature of the nonlinear growth of structure in the dark matter distribution. If the dark matter were absolutely cold, its mass density would diverge at caus…

The Diversity and Similarity of Simulated Cold Dark Matter Halos

Julio F. Navarro, Aaron Ludlow, Volker Springel +6

We study the mass, velocity dispersion, and anisotropy profiles of CDM halos using a suite of N-body simulations of unprecedented numerical resolution (the {\it Aquarius Project…

The Aquarius Project: the subhalos of galactic halos

Volker Springel, Jie Wang, Mark Vogelsberger +6

We have performed the largest ever particle simulation of a Milky Way-sized dark matter halo, and present the most comprehensive convergence study for an individual dark matter hal…

A blueprint for detecting supersymmetric dark matter in the Galactic halo

Volker Springel, Simon D. M. White, Carlos S. Frenk +6

Dark matter is the dominant form of matter in the universe, but its nature is unknown. It is plausibly an elementary particle, perhaps the lightest supersymmetric partner of known…

The fine-grained phase-space structure of Cold Dark Matter halos

Mark Vogelsberger, Simon D. M. White, Amina Helmi +1

We present a new and completely general technique for calculating the fine-grained phase-space structure of dark matter throughout the Galactic halo. Our goal is to understand this…
