The Satellite - substructure Connection
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe our recent attempts to model substructure in dark matter halos down to very small masses, using a semi-analytic model of halo formation. The results suggest that numerical simulations of halo formation may still be missing substructure in the central regions of halos due to purely numerical effects. If confirmed, this central 'overmerging' problem will have important consequences for the interpretation of lensing measurements of substructure. We also show that the spatial distribution of subhalos relative to the satellite companions of the Milky Way rules out at least one simple model of how dwarf galaxies form in low-mass halos.

Seismic Performance of seat-type bridges with elastomeric bearings
In Iran and some other countries, elastomer bearings in seat-type bridges are used with no sole/masonry plates and there is no positive connection between superstructure and substructure. Different codes have diverse provisions regarding the coefficient of friction (μ) between elastomer bearing and superstructure/substructure and also the design strength of shear keys (Vsk). Developing a finite...
متن کاملThe Gauss–manin Connection on the Hodge Structures
The Gauß–Manin connection is an extra structure on the de Rham cohomology of any algebraic variety, ∇ : H dR/k −→ Ωk ⊗k H dR/k (its definition will appear below). If one believes the Hodge conjecture then for a given pure Hodge structure H there is at most one connection ∇ such that H is a Hodge substructure of a cohomology group of a smooth projective complex variety with ∇ induced by the Gauß...
متن کاملSignatures of Λcdm Substructure in Tidal Debris
In the past decade, surveys of the stellar component of the Galaxy have revealed a number of streams from tidally disrupted dwarf galaxies and globular clusters. Simulations of hierarchical structure formation in ΛCDM cosmologies predict that the dark matter halo of a galaxy like the Milky Way contains hundreds of subhalos with masses of ∼ 10 M⊙ and greater, and it has been suggested that the e...
متن کاملAstrometric Perturbations in Substructure Lensing
In recent years, gravitational lensing has been used as a means to detect substructure in galaxysized halos, via anomalous flux ratios in quadruply-imaged lenses. In addition to causing anomalous flux ratios, substructure may also perturb the positions of lensed images at observable levels. In this paper, we numerically investigate the scale of such astrometric perturbations using realistic mod...
متن کاملSatellites and Halos of Dwarf Galaxies
We study the abundance of satellite galaxies as a function of primary stellar mass using the SDSS/DR7 spectroscopic catalogue. In contrast with previous studies, which focussed mainly on bright primaries, our central galaxies span a wide range of stellar mass, 10 6 M ∗ /M⊙ 6 10 , from dwarfs to central cluster galaxies. Our analysis confirms that the average number of satellites around bright p...
