The detection of sub-solar mass dark matter halos
Dark matter halos of sub-solar mass are the first bound objects to form in cold dark matter theories. In this article, I discuss the present understanding of “microhalos”, their role in structure formation, and the implications of their potential presence, in the interpretation of dark matter experiments.

متن کاملThe mass function of dark matter halos
We combine data from a number of N-body simulations to predict the abundance of dark halos in Cold Dark Matter universes over more than 4 orders of magnitude in mass. A comparison of different simulations suggests that the dominant uncertainty in our results is systematic and is smaller than 10–30% at all masses, depending on the halo definition used. In particular, our “Hubble Volume” simulati...
متن کاملPrecision Determination of the Mass Function of Dark Matter Halos
The predicted mass function of dark matter halos is essential in connecting observed galaxy cluster counts and models of galaxy clustering to the properties of the primordial density field. We determine the mass function in the concordance ΛCDM cosmology, as well as its uncertainty, using sixteen 10243-particle nestedvolume dark-matter simulations, spanning a mass range of over five orders of m...
متن کاملThe Bound Mass of Substructures in Dark Matter Halos
We present a new definition of subhalos in dissipationless dark matter N-body simulations, based on the coherent identification of their dynamically bound constituents. Whereas previous methods of determining the energetically bound components of a subhalo ignored the contribution of all the remaining particles in the halo (those not geometrically or dynamically associated with the subhalo), ou...
متن کاملDwarf Dark Matter Halos
We use N-body simulations to study properties of dwarf halos with virial masses in the range 10 − 10hM⊙. Unlike recent reported results, we find that the density profiles of relaxed dwarf halos are well fitted by the NFW profile and do not have cores. We estimate the distribution of concentrations for halos in mass range that covers six orders of magnitude from 10 hM⊙ to 10 13 hM⊙, and find tha...
