We use cosmological simulations to identify dark matter subhalo host candidates of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy using the stellar kinematic properties of Fornax. We consider cold dark matter (CDM), warm dark matter (WDM), and decaying dark matt... Read More about Mass assembly history and infall time of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy.

We use a large sample of isolated dark matter halo pairs drawn from cosmological N-body simulations to identify candidate systems whose kinematics match that of the Local Group (LG) of galaxies. We find, in agreement with the ‘timing argument’ and ea... Read More about The APOSTLE project: Local Group kinematic mass constraints and simulation candidate selection.
