Cold dark matter subhaloes at arbitrarily low masses
Nicola C. Amorisco
A defining prediction of the cold dark matter (CDM) cosmological model is the existence of a very large population of low mass haloes, down to planet-size masses. However, their fa…
Giant cold satellites from low-concentration haloes
Nicola C. Amorisco
The dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way Crater II and Antlia II have uncommonly low dynamical mass densities, due to their large size and low velocity dispersion. Previous wo…
First constraints on Fuzzy Dark Matter from the dynamics of stellar streams in the Milky Way
Nicola C. Amorisco, A. Loeb
We present a novel method to constrain the mass of ultra-light bosons as the dark matter using stellar streams formed by disrupting Globular Clusters in the Milky Way. The turbulen…
Globular cluster populations and the kinematical fingerprints of minor mergers
Nicola C. Amorisco
We use Monte Carlo CDM assembly histories, minor-merger N-body simulations and empirical relations between halo mass and the globular cluster (GC) abundance to study the kinemat…
Halo Substructure in the SDSS-Gaia Catalogue : Streams and Clumps
G. C. Myeong, N. W. Evans, V. Belokurov +2
We use the SDSS-Gaia Catalogue to identify six new pieces of halo substructure. SDSS-Gaia is an astrometric catalogue that exploits SDSS data release 9 to provide first epoch photo…
Galaxies with Shells in the Illustris Simulation: Metallicity Signatures
Ana-Roxana Pop, Annalisa Pillepich, Nicola C. Amorisco +1
Stellar shells are low surface brightness arcs of overdense stellar regions, extending to large galactocentric distances. In a companion study, we identified 39 shell galaxies in a…
