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…

Angular momentum transport and disk morphology in SPH simulations of galaxy formation

Tobias Kaufmann, Lucio Mayer, James Wadsley +2

We perform controlled N-Body/SPH simulations of disk galaxy formation by cooling a rotating gaseous mass distribution inside equilibrium cuspy spherical and triaxial dark matter ha…

Globular clusters, satellite galaxies and stellar haloes from early dark matter peaks

Ben Moore, Juerg Diemand, Piero Madau +3

The Milky Way contains several distinct old stellar components that provide a fossil record of its formation. We can understand their spatial distribution and kinematics in a hiera…

Cusps in CDM halos

Juerg Diemand, Marcel Zemp, Ben Moore +2

We resolve the inner region of a massive cluster forming in a cosmological LCDM simulation with a mass resolution of 2*10^6 Msun and before z=4.4 even 3*10^5 Msun. This is a billio…

Morphological evolution of disk galaxies in clusters

Chiara Mastropietro, Ben Moore, Lucio Mayer +3

The recent discovery of hidden non-axysimmetric and disk-like structures in bright Virgo dwarf elliptical and lenticular galaxies (dE/dSph/dS0) indicates that they may have late-ty…

Star-forming accretion flows and the low luminosity nuclei of giant elliptical galaxies

Jonathan C. Tan, E. G. Blackman

The luminosities of the centers of nearby elliptical galaxies are very low compared to models of thin disc accretion to their black holes at the Bondi rate, typically a few hundred…
