Spatial distribution of galactic halos and their merger histories
We use a novel statistical tool, the mark correlation functions (MCFs), to study clustering of galaxysize halos as a function of their properties and environment in a high-resolution numerical simulation of the ΛCDM cosmology. We applied MCFs using several types of continuous and discrete marks: maximum circular velocity of halos, merger mark indicating whether halos experienced or not a major ...
متن کاملAxions and Their Distribution in Galactic Halos
Axion physics is briefly reviewed. Constraints from laboratory searches, astrophysics and cosmology require the axion mass to be in the range 10 . ma < 3 · 10eV. Near the lower end of this range, axions are all or a major component of the cold dark matter of the universe. The late infall of axions, and of any other cold dark matter particles, onto our galaxy produces streams and caustics in its...
متن کاملConcentrations of Dark Halos from Their Assembly Histories
We study the relation between the density profiles of dark matter halos and their mass assembly histories, using a statistical sample of halos in a high-resolution N-body simulation of the ΛCDM cosmology. For each halo at z = 0, we identify its merger-history tree, and determine concentration parameters cvir for all progenitors, thus providing a structural merger tree for each halo. We fit the ...
متن کاملMicrolensing in Galactic Halos
— In the framework of the search of dark matter in galactic halos in form of massive compact halo object (MACHOs), we discuss the status of microlensing observations towards the Magellanic Clouds and the Andromeda galaxy, M31. The detection of a few microlensing events has been reported, but an unambiguous conclusion on the halo content in form on MACHOs has not been reached yet. A more detaile...
متن کاملDark Baryons in Galactic Halos
Primordial nucleosynthesis as well as anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation imply that the total amount of baryons in the Universe largely exceeds the visible contribution, thereby making a strong case for baryonic dark matter. Moreover, certain recent developments lead to a consistent picture of the dark baryon budget in the present-day Universe. Accordingly, dark baryons a...
