Substructure and halo density profiles in a Warm Dark Matter scenario

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

High-resolution cosmological N-body simulations were performed in order to study the substructure of Milky Way-like galactic halos and the density profiles of halos in a warm dark matter scenario. The results favor this scenario with respect to the cold dark matter one.
