We compare the substructure evolution in pure dark matter (DM) halos with those in the presence of baryons (PDM and BDM). The prime halos have been analyzed by Romano-Diaz et al (2009). Models have been evolved from identical initial…

Ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies are a promising probe for dark matter (DM) physics as they are the most DM-dominated systems known. The Milky Way (MW) hosts many UFDs for which the properties of their DM distribution have been inferred…
