How serious are the problems faced by CDM : cusps , thin disks , and halo substructure
This is a summary of the discussion in Panel I of IAU Symposium 220 on Dark Matter in Galaxies. The panel topics and panellists were as follows – Cusps Theory: Julio Navarro; Cusps Observations: Erwin de Blok, Rob Swaters; Substructure Observations: Mario Mateo; Substructure Theory: James Taylor, Shude Mao. In addition to the talks by the panellists and the discussion among them, there was a go...
متن کاملUncovering CDM halo substructure with tidal streams
Models for the formation and growth of structure in a cold dark matter dominated universe predict that galaxy halos should contain significant substructure. Studies of the Milky Way, however, have yet to identify the expected few hundred sub-halos with masses greater than about 10 M⊙. Here we propose a test for the presence of sub-halos in the halos of galaxies. We show that the structure of th...
متن کاملSubstructure in Cdm Halos and the Heating of Stellar Disks
Numerical simulations have revealed the presence of long-lived substructure in Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos. These surviving cores of past merger and accretion events vastly outnumber the known satellites of the Milky Way. This finding has prompted suggestions that substructure in cold dark matter (CDM) halos may be incompatible with observation and in conflict with the presence of thin, dynami...
متن کاملCusps in CDM halos
We resolve the inner region of a massive cluster forming in a cosmological ΛCDM simulation with a mass resolution of 2 × 106M⊙ and before z=4.4 even 3 × 10 5M⊙. This is a billion times less than the clusters final virial mass and a substantial increase over current ΛCDM simulations. We achieve this resolution using a new multi-mass refinement procedure and are now able to probe a dark matter ha...
متن کاملCusps in CDM halos: The density profile of a billion particle halo
We resolve the inner region of a massive cluster forming in a cosmological ΛCDM simulation with a mass resolution of up to 3 × 105M⊙. This is a billion times less than the clusters virial mass and is about two orders of magnitude better than the current highest resolution ΛCDM simulations. We achieve this resolution using a new multi-mass refinement procedure and are now able to probe a dark ma...
