Dwarf Galaxies in CDM, WDM, and SIDM: Disentangling Baryons and Dark Matter Physics
Alex Fitts, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Brandon Bozek +9
We present a suite of FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated field dwarf galaxies, all with masses of M at , across a r…

Warm FIRE: Simulating Galaxy Formation with Resonant Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter
Brandon Bozek, Alex Fitts, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +8
We study the impact of a warm dark matter (WDM) cosmology on dwarf galaxy formation through a suite of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations of $M_{\rm halo} \approx10^{1…

Dispersal of tidal debris in a Milky-Way-sized dark matter halo
Wayne Ngan, Raymond G. Carlberg, Brandon Bozek +3
We simulate the tidal disruption of a collisionless N-body globular star cluster in a total of 300 different orbits selected to have galactocentric radii between 10 and 30 kpc in f…
