All about baryons: revisiting SIDM predictions at small halo masses

A. Bastidas Fry, F. Governato, A. Pontzen +6

We use cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to consistently compare the assembly of dwarf galaxies in both dominated, Cold (CDM) and Self--Interacting (SIDM) dark matter model…

Reproducing the Stellar Mass/Halo Mass Relation in Simulated LCDM Galaxies: Theory vs Observational Estimates

Ferah Munshi, F. Governato, A. M. Brooks +6

We examine the present-day total stellar-to-halo mass (SHM) ratio as a function of halo mass for a new sample of simulated field galaxies using fully cosmological, LCDM, high resol…

Cuspy No More: How Outflows Affect the Central Dark Matter and Baryon Distribution in Lambda CDM Galaxies

F. Governato, A. Zolotov, A. Pontzen +6

We examine the evolution of the inner dark matter (DM) and baryonic density profile of a new sample of simulated field galaxies using fully cosmological, Lambda CDM, high resolutio…

MAGICC haloes: confronting simulations with observations of the circumgalactic medium at z=0

Greg Stinson, Chris Brook, J. Xavier Prochaska +8

We explore the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of two simulated star-forming galaxies with luminosities L ~ 0.1 and 1 L* generated using the smooth particle hydrodynamic code GASOLINE.…

The Orbital Evolution Induced by Baryonic Condensation in Triaxial Halos

M. Valluri, V. P. Debattista, T. Quinn +1

Using spectral methods, we analyse the orbital structure of prolate/triaxial dark matter (DM) halos in N-body simulations to understand the processes that drive the evolution of sh…
