Galactic halos of fluid dark matter
Dwarf spiral galaxies, and in particular the prototypical DDO 154, are known to be completely dominated by an unseen component. The putative neutralinos, so far the favored explanation for the astronomical dark matter, fail to reproduce the well measured rotation curves of those systems because these species tend to form a central cusp whose presence is not supported by observation. We have con...
متن کاملDark Matter Substructure within Galactic Halos
We use numerical simulations to examine the substructure within galactic and cluster mass halos that form within a hierarchical universe. Clusters are easily reproduced with a steep mass spectrum of thousands of substructure clumps that closely matches observations. However, the survival of dark matter substructure also occurs on galactic scales, leading to the remarkable result that galaxy hal...
متن کاملAnatomy of the Bar Instability in Cuspy Dark Matter Halos
We examine the bar instability in galactic models with an exponential disk and a cuspy dark matter (DM) halo with a Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) cosmological density profile. The equilibrium models are constructed from a 3-integral composite distribution function but subject to the bar instability. We generate a sequence of models with a range of mass resolution from 1.8K to 18M particles in the d...
متن کاملProbing the matter at stellar, galactic and intergalactic scales
We report the discovery of the optical afterglow (OA) of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030429, and present a comprehensive optical/near-infrared dataset used to probe the matter at different distance scales, i.e. in the burst environment, in the host galaxy and in an intervening absorber. A break in the afterglow light curve is seen approximately 1 day from the onset of the burst. The l...
متن کاملThe phase-space structure of cold dark-matter halos: Insights into the Galactic halo
We study the formation of the Milky Way’s halo in a ΛCDM cosmology by scaling down a high resolution simulation of the formation of a cluster of galaxies. We determine how much phase-space substructure is left over from the objects that merge to build up the present galaxy. We study the debris streams originating from such objects and find that their evolution can be explained simply in terms o...
