An Improved Model for the Dynamical Evolution of Dark Matter Subhaloes
JianLing Gan, Xi Kang, Frank C. van den Bosch +1
Using an analytical model, we study the evolution of subhalo, including its mass, angular momentum and merging time-scale. This model considers the dominant processes governing sub…
