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.).

A Lightcone Catalogue from the Millennium-XXL Simulation

2 code implementations23 Jan 2017 Alex Smith, Shaun Cole, Carlton Baugh, Zheng Zheng, Raul Angulo, Peder Norberg, Idit Zehavi

A Monte Carlo HOD method is used to assign galaxies to the halo lightcone catalogue, and we evolve the HODs to reproduce a target luminosity function; by construction, the luminosity function of galaxies in the mock is in agreement with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) at low redshifts and the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey at high redshifts.

A unified model for the spatial and mass distribution of subhaloes

2 code implementations7 Sep 2015 Jiaxin Han, Shaun Cole, Carlos S. Frenk, Yipeng Jing

N-body simulations suggest that the substructures that survive inside dark matter haloes follow universal distributions in mass and radial number density.

The orbital PDF: general inference of the gravitational potential from steady-state tracers

1 code implementation2 Jul 2015 Jiaxin Han, Wenting Wang, Shaun Cole, Carlos S. Frenk

We develop two general methods to infer the gravitational potential of a system using steady-state tracers, i. e., tracers with a time-independent phase-space distribution.

Theoretical Models of the Halo Occupation Distribution: Separating Central and Satellite Galaxies

no code implementations30 Aug 2004 Zheng Zheng, Andreas A. Berlind, David H. Weinberg, Andrew J. Benson, Carlton M. Baugh, Shaun Cole, Romeel Dave, Carlos S. Frenk, Neal Katz, Cedric G. Lacey

In agreement with earlier results for dark matter subhalos, we find that the mean occupation function <N> for galaxies above a baryonic mass threshold can be approximated by a step function for central galaxies plus a power law for satellites, and that the distribution of satellite numbers is close to Poisson at fixed halo mass.
