The Structure of Cold Dark Matter Halos: Recent Insights from High Resolution Simulations
arXiv:0909.4298 · doi:10.1142/S0217732309031880
Abstract
We review results from recent high resolution cosmological structure formation simulations, namely the Via Lactea I & II and GHALO projects. These simulations study the formation of Milky Way sized objects within a cosmological framework. We discuss the general properties of cold dark matter halos at redshift z = 0 and focus on new insights into the structure of halos we got due to the unprecedented high resolution in these simulations.
