Dark matter at the end of the Galaxy

Journal Article Lisanti, Mariangela ; Particle and Particle Astrophysics Department, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, California 94025 ; Strigari, Louis E ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Dark matter density profiles based upon {Lambda}CDM cosmology motivate an ansatz velocity distribution function with fewer high-velocity particles than the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution or proposed variants. The high-velocity tail of the distribution is determined by the outer slope of the dark matter halo--the large radius behavior of the Galactic dark matter density. N-body simulations of Galactic halos reproduce the high-velocity behavior of this ansatz. Predictions for direct detection rates are dramatically affected for models where the threshold scattering velocity is within 30% of the escape velocity.

EVOLUTION OF THE GALAXY-DARK MATTER CONNECTION AND THE ASSEMBLY OF GALAXIES IN DARK MATTER HALOS

Journal Article Xiaohu, Yang ; Youcai, Zhang ; Jiaxin, Han ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We present a new model to describe the galaxy-dark matter connection across cosmic time, which unlike the popular subhalo abundance-matching technique is self-consistent in that it takes account of the facts that (1) subhalos are accreted at different times and (2) the properties of satellite galaxies may evolve after accretion. Using observations of galaxy stellar mass functions (SMFs) out to z {approx} 4, the conditional SMF at z {approx} 0.1 obtained from Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxy group catalogs, and the two-point correlation function (2PCF) of galaxies at z {approx} 0.1 as a function of stellar mass, we constrain themore »« less

Constraining dark matter halo profiles and galaxy formation models using spiral arm morphology. II. Dark and stellar mass concentrations for 13 nearby face-on galaxies

Journal Article Seigar, Marc S. ; Davis, Benjamin L. ; Berrier, Joel ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We investigate the use of spiral arm pitch angles as a probe of disk galaxy mass profiles. We confirm our previous result that spiral arm pitch angles (P) are well correlated with the rate of shear (S) in disk galaxy rotation curves. We use this correlation to argue that imaging data alone can provide a powerful probe of galactic mass distributions out to large look-back times. We then use a sample of 13 galaxies, with Spitzer 3.6 μm imaging data and observed Hα rotation curves, to demonstrate how an inferred shear rate coupled with a bulge-disk decomposition model and amore »« less

Semi-empirical catalog of early-type galaxy-halo systems: dark matter density profiles, halo contraction and dark matter annihilation strength

Journal Article Chae, Kyu-Hyun ; Kravtsov, Andrey V. ; Frieman, Joshua A. ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

With Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxy data and halo data from up-to-date N-body simulations within the ΛCDM framework we construct a semi-empirical catalog (SEC) of early-type galaxy-halo systems by making a self-consistent bivariate statistical match of stellar mass (M{sub *}) and velocity dispersion (σ) with halo virial mass (M{sub vir}) as demonstrated here for the first time. We then assign stellar mass profile and velocity dispersion profile parameters to each system in the SEC using their observed correlations with M{sub *} and σ. Simultaneously, we solve for dark matter density profile of each halo using the spherical Jeans equation. Themore »« less

Distribution of dark matter, galaxies, and the intergalactic medium in a cold dark matter dominated universe

Technical Report Ryu, D ; Vishniac, E T ; Chiang, W H

The evolution and distribution of galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM) have been studied, along with collisionless dark matter in a Universe dominated by cold dark matter. The Einstein-deSitter universe with omega sub 0 = 1 and h = 0.5 was considered (here h = H sub 0 bar 100/kms/Mpc and H sub 0 is the present value of the Hubble constant). It is assumed that initially dark matter composes 90 pct and baryonic matter composes 10 pct of total mass, and that the primordial baryonic matter is comprised of H and He, with the abundance of He equal tomore »« less
