The galaxy in context: structural, kinematic, and integrated properties

J Bland-Hawthorn, O Gerhard - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is a benchmark for understanding disk galaxies. It is the only
galaxy whose formation history can be studied using the full distribution of stars from faint …

Cluster–galaxy weak lensing

K Umetsu - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020 - Springer
Weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies provides a direct probe of the projected
matter distribution in and around galaxy clusters. Here, we present a self-contained …

hmcode-2020: improved modelling of non-linear cosmological power spectra with baryonic feedback

AJ Mead, S Brieden, T Tröster… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
We present an updated version of the hmcode augmented halo model that can be used to
make accurate predictions of the non-linear matter power spectrum over a wide range of …

The Uchuu simulations: Data Release 1 and dark matter halo concentrations

T Ishiyama, F Prada, AA Klypin, M Sinha… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
We introduce the Uchuu suite of large high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations. The
largest simulation, named Uchuu, consists of 2.1 trillion (12 8003) dark matter particles in a …

COLOSSUS: A python toolkit for cosmology, large-scale structure, and dark matter halos

B Diemer - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper introduces C olossus, a public, open-source python package for calculations
related to cosmology, the large-scale structure (LSS) of matter in the universe, and the …

The formation and assembly history of the Milky Way revealed by its globular cluster population

JMD Kruijssen, JL Pfeffer… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We use the age–metallicity distribution of 96 Galactic globular clusters (GCs) to infer the
formation and assembly history of the Milky Way (MW), culminating in the reconstruction of …

Large-misalignment mechanism for the formation of compact axion structures: Signatures from the QCD axion to fuzzy dark matter

A Arvanitaki, S Dimopoulos, M Galanis, L Lehner… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Axions are some of the best motivated particles beyond the Standard Model. We show how
the attractive self-interactions of dark matter (DM) axions over a broad range of masses, from …

An accurate physical model for halo concentrations

B Diemer, M Joyce - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The relation between halo mass, M, and concentration, c, is a critical component in our
understanding of the structure of dark matter halos. While numerous models for this relation …

The mass–concentration–redshift relation of cold and warm dark matter haloes

AD Ludlow, S Bose, RE Angulo, L Wang… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We use a suite of cosmological simulations to study the mass–concentration–redshift
relation, c (M, z), of dark matter haloes. Our simulations include standard Λ-cold dark matter …

The splashback radius as a physical halo boundary and the growth of halo mass

S More, B Diemer, AV Kravtsov - The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
The boundaries of cold dark matter halos are commonly defined to enclose a density
contrast Δ relative to a reference (mean or critical) density. We argue that a more physical …
