The Structure of Cold Dark Matter Halos: Recent Insights from High Resolution Simulations

Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics 2014-11-20 v1 Astrophysics of Galaxies

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.
