Limits on the local density of dark matter
Silvia Garbari, Justin I. Read, George Lake
We study the systematic problems in determining the local dark matter density from kinematics of stars in the Solar Neighbourhood, using a simulated Milky Way-lik…
N-body simulations of gravitational dynamics
Walter Dehnen, Justin Read
We describe the astrophysical and numerical basis of N-body simulations, both of collisional stellar systems (dense star clusters and galactic centres) and collisionless stellar dy…
Limits on the local dark matter density
Silvia Garbari, Justin I. Read, George Lake
We revisit systematics in determining the local dark matter density (rho_dm) from the vertical motion of stars in the Solar Neighbourhood. Using a simulation of a Milky Way-like ga…
Haloes gone MAD: The Halo-Finder Comparison Project
Alexander Knebe, Steffen R. Knollmann, Stuart I. Muldrew +34
[abridged] We present a detailed comparison of fundamental dark matter halo properties retrieved by a substantial number of different halo finders. These codes span a wide range of…
Dark matter profiles and annihilation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies: prospectives for present and future gamma-ray observatories - I. The classical dSphs
A. Charbonnier, C. Combet, M. Daniel +8
Due to their large dynamical mass-to-light ratios, dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are promising targets for the indirect detection of dark matter (DM) in gamma-rays. We examine…
