The stellar mass–halo mass relation of isolated field dwarfs: a critical test of ΛCDM at the edge of galaxy formation

JI Read, G Iorio, O Agertz… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We fit the rotation curves of isolated dwarf galaxies to directly measure the stellar mass–halo
mass relation (M⋆–M 200) over the mass range 5× 105≲ M⋆/M⊙≲ 108. By accounting for …

What does the Bullet Cluster tell us about self-interacting dark matter?

A Robertson, R Massey, V Eke - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We perform numerical simulations of the merging galaxy cluster 1E 0657-56 (the Bullet
Cluster), including the effects of elastic dark matter scattering. In a similar manner to the …

Large-scale dark matter simulations

RE Angulo, O Hahn - Living Reviews in Computational Astrophysics, 2022 - Springer
We review the field of collisionless numerical simulations for the large-scale structure of the
Universe. We start by providing the main set of equations solved by these simulations and …
