EDGE: Two routes to dark matter core formation in ultra-faint dwarfs

no code implementations7 Jan 2021 Matthew D. A. Orkney, Justin I. Read, Martin P. Rey, Imran Nasim, Andrew Pontzen, Oscar Agertz, Stacy Y. Kim, Maxime Delorme, Walter Dehnen

We find, similarly to previous work, that gravitational potential fluctuations within the central region of the simulated dwarfs kinematically heat the dark matter particles, lowering the dwarfs' central dark matter density.

New Constraints on the Mass of Fermionic Dark Matter from Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

1 code implementation7 Oct 2020 James Alvey, Nashwan Sabti, Victoria Tiki, Diego Blas, Kyrylo Bondarenko, Alexey Boyarsky, Miguel Escudero, Malcolm Fairbairn, Matthew Orkney, Justin I. Read

In this work, we review, revise and improve upon previous phase-space considerations to obtain lower bounds on the mass of fermionic dark matter particles.

To beta or not to beta: can higher-order Jeans analysis break the mass-anisotropy degeneracy in simulated dwarfs?

1 code implementation20 Nov 2019 Anna Genina, Justin I. Read, Carlos S. Frenk, Shaun Cole, Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, Aaron D. Ludlow, Julio F. Navarro, Kyle A. Oman, Andrew Robertson

A non-parametric higher-order Jeans analysis method, GravSphere, was recently used to constrain the density profiles of Local Group dwarf galaxies, classifying them into those that are more likely to have an inner dark matter cusp and those that are likely to have a core (Read et al.).

An efficient positive potential-density pair expansion for modelling galaxies

1 code implementation13 Apr 2016 Armando Rojas-Niño, Justin I. Read, Luis Aguilar, Maxime Delorme

We increase the efficiency of our expansion by allowing the scale length parameter of each disc to be negative.
