Interaction between a galactic disk and a live dark halo with an anisotropic velocity distribution

چکیده
We have extended previous analytical studies of the interaction of dark halos with galactic disks by introducing for the halo particles anisotropic distribution functions in phase space. For this purpose we have employed the shearing sheet model of a patch of a galactic disk embedded in a homogeneous halo. We find that velocity anisotropy increases considerably the maximum growth factor of perturbations in the disk.

Dynamical Effects of CDM Subhalos on a Galactic Disk
We investigate the dynamical interaction between a galactic disk and surrounding numerous dark subhalos as expected for a galaxy-sized halo in the cold dark matter (CDM) models. Our particular interest is to what extent accretion events of subhalos into a disk are allowed in light of the observed thinness of a disk. Several models of subhalos are considered in terms of their internal density di...
متن کاملJeans instability of a galactic disk embedded in a live dark halo ( Research Note )
We investigate the Jeans instability of a galactic disk embedded in a dynamically responsive dark halo. It is shown that the disk-halo system becomes nominally Jeans unstable. On small scales the instability is suppressed, if the Toomre stability index Q T is higher than a certain threshold, but on large scales the Jeans instability sets invariably in. However, using a simple self-consistent di...
متن کاملDark Matter Direct Detection Signals inferred from a Cosmological N-body Simulation with Baryons
We extract at redshift z = 0 a Milky Way sized object including gas, stars and dark matter (DM) from a recent, high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation with baryons. Its resolution is su cient to witness the formation of a rotating disk and bulge at the center of the halo potential, therefore providing a realistic description of the birth and the evolution of galactic structures in the ΛC...
متن کاملTully–Fisher Relation and its Implications for Halo Density Profile and Self-interacting Dark Matter
We show that the Tully-Fisher relation observed for spiral galaxies can be explained in the current scenario of galaxy formation without invoking subtle assumptions, provided that galactic-sized dark haloes have low concentrations which do not change significantly with halo circular velocity. This conclusion does not depend significantly on whether haloes have cuspy or flat profiles in the inne...
متن کاملThe Magellanic Stream in Modified Newtonian Dynamics
The dynamics of the Magellanic Stream (MS) as a series of clouds extending from the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) to the south Galactic pole is affected by the distribution and the amount of matter in the Milky Way. We calculate the gravitational effect of the Galactic disk on the MS in the framework of modified Newtonian dynamics(MOND) and compare with observations of the Stream’s radial velocity. W...
