Cold streams in early massive hot haloes as the main mode of galaxy formation
A. Dekel, Y. Birnboim, G. Engel +7
The massive galaxies in the young universe, ten billion years ago, formed stars at surprising intensities. Although this is commonly attributed to violent mergers, the properties o…
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 survival and disruption of CDM micro-haloes: implications for direct and indirect detection experiments
Tobias Goerdt, Oleg Y. Gnedin, Ben Moore +2
If the dark matter particle is a neutralino then the first structures to form are cuspy cold dark matter (CDM) haloes collapsing after redshifts z ~ 100 in the mass range 10^{-6} -…
Dynamical friction in constant density cores: a failure of the Chandrasekhar formula
J. I. Read, Tobias Goerdt, Ben Moore +3
Using analytic calculations and N-body simulations we show that in constant density (harmonic) cores, sinking satellites undergo an initial phase of very rapid (super-Chandrasekhar…
Does the Fornax dwarf spheroidal have a central cusp or core?
Tobias Goerdt, Ben Moore, J. I. Read +2
The dark matter dominated Fornax dwarf spheroidal has five globular clusters orbiting at ~1 kpc from its centre. In a cuspy CDM halo the globulars would sink to the centre from the…
