Disruption of satellites in cosmological haloes
We investigate how the survival of dark matter satellites inside virialized halos depends on tidal stripping and dynamical friction. We use an analytic approach and then compare the results with N-Body simulations. Both the satellites and the primary halos are similar to cosmological haloes and have NFW density profiles. Satellites can either merge with the primary halo or continue to move on b...
متن کاملCaustics in growing Cold Dark Matter Haloes
We simulate the growth of isolated dark matter haloes from self-similar and spherically symmetric initial conditions. Our N-body code integrates the geodesic deviation equation in order to track the streams and caustics associated with individual simulation particles. The radial orbit instability causes our haloes to develop major-to-minor axis ratios approaching 10 to 1 in their inner regions....
متن کاملHow Concentrated Are The Haloes Of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies In The Cold Dark Matter Model?
We investigate whether a correlation exists between the concentration (2̧00) and spin (λ) parameters of dark matter haloes forming in ΛCDM N-body simulations. In particular, we focus on haloes with virial masses in the range 10 6 Mvir/h M⊙ 6 2×10 , characteristic of the hosts of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) and High Surface Brightness (HSB) galaxies. Our analysis demonstrates that 2̧00 and λ are ...
متن کاملIrregular Satellites of the Giant Planets
The irregular satellites of the outer planets, whose population now numbers over 100, are likely to have been captured from heliocentric orbit during the early period of solar system history. They may thus constitute an intact sample of the planetesimals that accreted to form the cores of the jovian planets. Ranging in diameter from ~2 km to over 300 km, these bodies overlap the lower end of th...
متن کاملThe Fate of Substructures in Cold Dark Matter Haloes
We use the Millennium Simulation, a large, high resolution N-body simulation of the evolution of structure in a ΛCDM cosmology, to study the properties and fate of substructures within a large sample of dark matter haloes. We find that the subhalo mass function departs significantly from a power law at the high mass end. We also find that the radial and angular distributions of substructures de...
