Structure of dark matter halos in warm dark matter models and in models with long-lived charged massive particles

Journal Article Kamada, Ayuki ; Yoshida, Naoki ; Kohri, Kazunori ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study the formation of non-linear structures in warm dark matter (WDM) models and in a long-lived charged massive particle (CHAMP) model. CHAMPs with a decay lifetime of about 1 yr induce characteristic suppression in the matter power spectrum at subgalactic scales through acoustic oscillations in the thermal background. We explore structure formation in such a model. We also study three WDM models, where the dark matter particles are produced through the following mechanisms: i) WDM particles are produced in the thermal background and then kinematically decoupled; ii) WDM particles are fermions produced by the decay of thermal heavy bosons;more »« less

ASSEMBLY BIAS AND THE DYNAMICAL STRUCTURE OF DARK MATTER HALOS

Journal Article Faltenbacher, Andreas ; White, Simon D. M. - Astrophysical Journal

Based on the Millennium Simulation we examine assembly bias for the halo properties: shape, triaxiality, concentration, spin, shape of the velocity ellipsoid, and velocity anisotropy. For consistency, we determine all these properties using the same set of particles, namely all gravitationally self-bound particles belonging to the most massive substructure of a given friends-of-friends halo. We confirm that near-spherical and high-spin halos show enhanced clustering. The opposite is true for strongly aspherical and low-spin halos. Further, below the typical collapse mass, M{sub *}, more concentrated halos show stronger clustering, whereas less concentrated halos are less clustered which is reversed for massesmore »« less

Hierarchical phase space structure of dark matter haloes: Tidal debris, caustics, and dark matter annihilation

Journal Article Afshordi, Niayesh ; Mohayaee, Roya ; Bertschinger, Edmund - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Most of the mass content of dark matter haloes is expected to be in the form of tidal debris. The density of debris is not constant, but rather can grow due to formation of caustics at the apocenters and pericenters of the orbit, or decay as a result of phase mixing. In the phase space, the debris assemble in a hierarchy that is truncated by the primordial temperature of dark matter. Understanding this phase structure can be of significant importance for the interpretation of many astrophysical observations and, in particular, dark matter detection experiments. With this purpose in mind, wemore »« less

STATISTICAL MECHANICS OF COLLISIONLESS ORBITS. I. ORIGIN OF CENTRAL CUSPS IN DARK-MATTER HALOS

Journal Article Hjorth, Jens ; Williams, Liliya L. R., - Astrophysical Journal

We present an equilibrium statistical mechanical theory of collisionless self-gravitational systems with isotropic velocity distributions. Compared with existing standard theories, we introduce two changes: (1) the number of possible microstates is computed in energy (orbit) space rather than phase space and (2) low occupation numbers are treated more appropriately than they are using Stirling's approximation. Combined, the two modifications predict that the relaxed parts of collisionless self-gravitating systems, such as dark-matter halos, have a differential energy distribution N({epsilon}) {proportional_to} [exp({phi}{sub 0} - {epsilon})-1], dubbed 'DARKexp'. Such systems have central power-law density cusps {rho}(r) {proportional_to} r{sup -1}, which suggests a statisticalmore »« less
