The Milky Way's plane of satellites: consistent with CDM
Till Sawala, Marius Cautun, Carlos S. Frenk +7
The "plane of satellites problem" describes the arrangement of the Milky Way's 11 brightest satellite galaxies in a remarkably thin plane, possibly supported by rotation. This is i…
Statistical strong lensing. I. Constraints on the inner structure of galaxies from samples of a thousand lenses
Alessandro Sonnenfeld, Marius Cautun
Context: The number of known strong gravitational lenses is expected to grow substantially in the next few years. The statistical combination of large samples of lenses has the pot…
The survival of globular clusters in a cuspy Fornax
Shi Shao, Marius Cautun, Carlos S. Frenk +5
It has long been argued that the radial distribution of globular clusters (GCs) in the Fornax dwarf galaxy requires its dark matter halo to have a core of size kpc. We rev…
Deviations from tidal torque theory: evolution of the halo spin-filament alignment
Pablo López, Marius Cautun, Dante Paz +2
The alignment between halo spins and the cosmic web is still poorly understood despite being a widely studied topic. Here, we study this alignment within the context of tidal torqu…
Constraints on the properties of warm dark matter using the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way
Oliver Newton, Matteo Leo, Marius Cautun +5
The satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) are effective probes of the underlying dark matter (DM) substructure, which is sensitive to the nature of the DM particle. In particula…
Caught in the cosmic web: Environmental effect on halo concentrations, shape, and spin
Wojciech A. Hellwing, Marius Cautun, Rien van de Weygaert +1
Using a set of high-resolution simulations we study the statistical correlation of dark matter halo properties with the large-scale environment. We consider halo populations split…
