Small Scale Challenges for CDM Despite successes of ΛCDM on large and intermediate scales, serious issues remain

on smaller, galactic and sub-galactic, scales. In particular:

1. Missing satellite problem: High predicted number of small haloes

2. Angular momentum catastrophe: Low angular momentum of baryons, and consequent small radius of disks

3. Too Big To Fail: Dissipationless ΛCDM simulations predict that the majority of themost massive subhaloes of the Milky Way are too dense to host any of its brightsatellites

4. Cusp/Core Problem: Dark matter cusps in simulations of galaxy centers, absent in dwarf Irr, dominated by dark matter

Page 4: THE CUSP/CORE PROBLEM AND THE SECONDARY INFALL MODEL

Missing Satellite Problem• Moore et al 1999: Substructure within galactic and cluster mass halos. In MW 500 satellites with circular velocities larger than Draco and Ursa-Minor i.e. bound masses >108M⊙ and tidally limited sizes > kpc

Mateo 1998 Binggeli et al. 1985

Now and 4 billion years agoBasically all cosmological simulations predict that there are at least •one order of magnitude more small subhalos (dwarf galaxies) •around Milky Way like galaxies than what is observed (e.g. Via •Lactea simulation Diemand et al. 2007, ApJ 657)->234 million •particles in (90 Mpc/h)³ multimass simulation, mp=20900 Msun

• Strigari et al. 2007

Solution: only some satellites are visiblea) The ones having larger masses before accretion by MW (LBA) and which could resist tides (Diemand et al. 2007) b) The ones which acquired gas before re-ionization and formed stars: Earliest Forming (EF) (Bullock et al. 2000; Moore et al. 2006)

Reionization suppression (acquired gas before recombination and formed stars): Earliest Forming (EF) (Bullock et al. 2000; Moore et al. 2006)

• Madau et al. 2008:

• Simon & Geha (2007)Ultra-faint dwarfs with M/L~1000 discovered (from SDSS data) help to solve this discrepancy, but not fully (factor of 4 difference). If reionization occurred around redshift 9 − 14 , and dwarf galaxy formation was strongly suppressed thereafter, they have not been able to attract enough baryonic matter to create a visible dwarf Galaxy the circular velocity function of Milky Way satellite galaxies approximately matches that of CDM subhalos in Via Lactea simulation. (Keck observations of Simon and Geha 2007, astro-ph. 0706.0516 of 8 newly discovered ultra-faint Milky Way dwarf satellites showed that six were around 99.9% dark matter

Bullock et al. 2000; Kravtsov et al. 2004; Moore et al.2006, had also discussed reionization suppression.Other solutions: supernova feedback(e.g. Dekel & Silk 1986; Mac Low & Ferrara 1999;Mori et al. 2002), and gas stripping by ram pressure (e.g.Mayer et al. 2006) as favourite suppression mechanisms

The angular momentum catastrophe • The Standard Model of Disk Formation

• Detailed Conservation of Angular Momentum (Mestel 1963)

• Baryons initially trace dark matter (Fall and Estafiou 1980)

• Adiabatic Contraction (Barnes and White 1984, Bluementhal et al 1986)

• Realistic Halo Profile (Dalconton et al 1996, Mo et al 1997)

• Bulge formation from disk instabilities (Dalconton et al 1996, Mo et al 1997, van der Bosch 1998)

• Supernova feedback (van der Bosch et al 2000, 2002)

Page 7: THE CUSP/CORE PROBLEM AND THE SECONDARY INFALL MODEL

Problems with the Standard ModelThe angular momentum catastrophe Hydrodynamical simulations show that the angular momentum of the baryons is not conserved during collapse (Navarro and Benz 1991, Steinmetz and Navarro 1998, 2000; Sommer-Larson et al 2000)

The j-profile mismatch The distribution of specific angular momentum in N-body simulations does not

agree with observations (Bullock et al 1999, van der Bosch et al 2000)

Other problems:The spread in disk sizes seems to be narrower then the spread in λ values. (Lacey and de Jong 2000)Major mergers should lead to spheroids, but they also have the highest λ values. (Gardner 2000, Wechsler 2000)

Page 8: THE CUSP/CORE PROBLEM AND THE SECONDARY INFALL MODEL

In hydrodynamical simulations baryons have ~10% of the angular momentum of observed disks.

This has been associated with the problem of “over-cooling” also

seen in hydrodynamical simulations

Angular momentum possibly lostduring repeated collisions throughdynamical friction or other mechanisms(van den Bosch et al. 2002; Navarro &Steinmetz 2000).

Solution (s): stellar feedback processes (Weilet al. 1998), but part of the angular momentum problem

seemsdue to numerical effects, most likelyrelated to the shock capturing, artificialViscosity used in smoothed particlehydrodynamics (SPH) simulations(Sommer-Larsen &

Dolgov 2001).

Over-cooling in merging satellites -> angular momentum Catastrophe

The gas contraction within the incoming satellite makes the gas immune against tidal stripping: it spirals all the way into the halo center while losing all of its orbital angular momentum to the dark halo due to dynamical friction. The dark matter, which dominates the outer regions of the satellite, is gradually stripped in the outer parts of the halo, thus retaining part of its orbital angular momentum.

If the baryons cool rapidly and sink to the centers of dark halos, then they willlose their angular momentum.The obvious solution to this problem is some

form of heating that will prevent the baryons from contracting to the center of the dark halos.

By incorporating a simple recipe of supernova feedback, it is possiible to solve the problems of angular momentum in disk formation.

Page 10: THE CUSP/CORE PROBLEM AND THE SECONDARY INFALL MODEL

“Too Big To Fail”The "too big to fail" (TBTF) problem arose from analyses of the Aquarius and Via Lactea (high resolution of MW-like halos). Each simulated halo had ~10 sub-halos that were so massive and dense that they would appear to be too big to fail to form lots of stars. The TBTF problem is that none of the observed satellites of the Milky Way or Andromeda have stars moving as fast as would be expected in these densest sub-halos.

Subhalos that are at least 2 σ denser than every bright MW dwarf spheroidal curves are plotted with solid curves, while the remaining subhalos are plotted as dotted curves.

Page 11: THE CUSP/CORE PROBLEM AND THE SECONDARY INFALL MODEL

A Baryonic Solution to “Too Big To Fail” • Inclusion of baryonic physics can create shallower slopes of the

dark matter densities in the centers of low-mass galaxies reducing or solving the discrepancy between cuspy profile predicted in N-body simulations and flat ones seen in observation.

• Zolotov et al. (2012) have suggested a correction to be applied to the central masses of dark matter-only satellites in order to mimic the effect of (1) the flattening of the dark matter cusp due to supernova feedback in luminous satellites, and (2) enhanced tidal stripping due to the presence of a baryonic disk:

∆(v1kpc) = 0.2vinfall − 0.26 km/s for 20 km/s< vinfall < 50 km/s

This is one of large number of clusters for which measurements like this have been made. Clusters like Abell 1689 and Abell 2218 are particularly good, because they had gravitational arcs near the center. So the results can be calibrated by strong gravitational lensing (the green points in the figure). The dark matter often has structure, sometimes with lumps that are quite massive but have no optical galaxies (for example Abell 1942; Erben et al. 2000, A&A, 355, 23)

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS• Observational problems:

– Beam smearing; non-circular motion, off-centring, systematic effects in observations– High resolution observations can distinguish cored and cuspy haloes by deriving their asymptotic inner slopes from

rotation curve data (de Naray & Kaufmann 2011)

• Failure of the CDM model or problems with simulations? (del Blok et al 2001, 2003; Borriello & Salucci 2001) (resolution; relaxation; overmerging; BARYONS NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT !) Convergence Tests (Dieman et al. 2004)

Alternatives to (C)CDMWDM: (Warm) disperson velocity (now) 100 m/s; reduce the small scale power, fewer low mass halos, all halos have less steep inner profile SIDM: (Self-Interacting) QCD interaction but no EM; Interaction strength: comparable to neutron-neutron; significant self-scatering cross section; central density declines in the desidered fashion; scattering strips the halos from small clumps of dark matter orbiting larger structures, making them vulnerable to tidal stripping and reducing their number. Difficulty: make spherical clusters: against lensingRDM: (Repulsive): DM consist of a condensate of massive bosons with a short range repulsive potential. The inner parts of dark matter halos would behave like a superfluid and be less cuspy. FDM: (Fuzzy): ultra-light scalar particles whose Compton wavelength (effective size) is the size of galaxy core. DM cannot be concentrated on smaller scales, resulting is softer cores and reduce small-scale structure. SADM: (Self-Annihilating): DM in dense regions may collide and annihilate, liberating radiation. This reduces the density in the central regions of clusters for two reasons: direct removal of particles from the center and re-expansion of the remainder as the cluster adjusts to the reduced central gravity. DDM: (Decaying): if early dense halos decay into relativistic particles and lower mass remnants, then core densities, which form early, aresignificantly reduced without altering large scale structure

Page 27: THE CUSP/CORE PROBLEM AND THE SECONDARY INFALL MODEL

Theory Vs. observations: what could have gone wrong?

• Beam smearing tend to systematically lower slopes.

• Error bars large enough so that the cores are favoured but cusps can usually not be ruled out (Hayashi et al. 2004).

• Also: Non-circular motions, off-centring, spatial snoothing.

• Power et al. , Hayashi et al. and Navarro et al. 2003 suggest ways to reconcile with the observations:

1. With better simulations, the halos become progressively shallow from the virial radius inwards and show no sign of turning into a power-law.

2. Simulated haloes Vc are consistent with 70% of LSB rotation curves.

3. Observational disagreement is with the fitting formulae, rather than with simulated haloes.

4. CDM haloes are non-spherical and 3D. Comparing rotation speeds of gaseous disks to spherically-averaged circular velocity of DM haloes, differences should be expected.

NUMERICAL ISSUES:Overmerging, two body relaxation, softening length; multi-mass simulations• In cosmological simulations of the dark matter each particle represents a coarse grained

sampling of phase space which sets a mass and spatial resolution.

• Unfortunately these super-massive particles will undergo two body encounters that lead to energy transfer as the system tends towards equipartition. In the real Universe the dark matter particles are essentially collisionless and pass unperturbed past each other.

• The artificial smoothing of the density distribution in these regions (disruption of dark matter halos within dense environments) is referred to as `overmerging‘ (for a review of the problem see Moore 2000).

• A modification of the 1/r^2 law through a softening length diminishes two body scattering and relaxation and allows larger time steps.

• Simulation results are least reliable in the densest parts of the halo, where the dynamical timescale is shortest and artificial heating has the greatest effect. In early simulations of the formation of galaxy clusters, overmerging erased substructure completely (e.g. White 1976). When simulations reached sufficient resolution to resolve roughly as many subsystems as there are galaxies in a cluster, the problem was considered `solved' (e.g. Ghigna et al. 2000), although the scale invariance of halo properties quickly lead to an excess dwarf satellite problem in galaxy haloes.

• The assumption that the overmerging problem is now solved has not been fully tested (Taylor et al. 2003). The effects of particle discreteness in N-body simulations of CDM are still an intensively debated issue (Romeo et al. 2008).

• The processes of relaxation is difficult to quantify, but in the large N limit the discreteness effects inherent to the N-body technique vanish, so one tries to use as large a number of particles as computationally possible. Increasing N helps, but slowly ( N -0.25)

profile has stimulated several analytical works : profile has stimulated several analytical works : Gunn & Gott’s SIM ((Ryden & Gunn 1987; Avila-Reese 1998; DP2000; Lokas 2000; Nusser 2001; Hiotelis 2002; Le Delliou Henriksen 2003; Ascasibar et al. 2003; Williams et al. 2004; Del Popolo 2009). ).

• Del Popolo 2000, Lokas 2000 reproduced the NFW profile considering radial collapse. SIM is improved by calculating the initial overdensity from the perturbation spectrum and eliminating limits of previous SIM’s works.

• Other authors studied the effect of angular momentum, L, and non-radial motions in SIM showing a flattening of the inner profile with increasing L.

• El-Zant et al. (2001) proposed a semianalytial model: dynamical friction dissipate orbital energy of gas distributed in clumps depositing it in dark matter with the result of erasing the cusp.

• Changing the orbit eccentricity e (proportional to L) produces a flattening of the inner profile. Radial orbits gives rise to a steep profile similar to that proposed by Moore et al. (1999)

• Numerical experiments, in the same paper shows that central slopes in relaxed haloes could be less steep than the NFW fit in agreement with analytical models based on the velocity dispersion profile (Taylor & Navarro 2003; Hoeft et al. 2003)

•Follows Ryden & Gunn (1987): only random angular momentum is taken into account

•More massive galaxy halos tend to be more centrally concentrated, and have flatter rotation curves

•Specific angular momentum (only random L) in Williams haloes is less centrally concentrated and larger than in N-body simulations (e.g. van den Bosch et al. 2002).

•In order to reproduce a NFW profile one has to reduce random velocities by a factor of two. As suggested by Williams haloes in N-body simulations lose angular momentum between 0.1 and 1 R_vir. It is well known that numerical haloes have too little angular momentum vs. real disk galaxies (L catastrophe)

How does SCM-SIM work?How does SCM-SIM work?

• A slightly overdense sphere, embedded in the Universe, is a useful non-linear model, as it behaves exactly as a closed sub-universe (if density is > criticical density)

• The overdensity expands with Hubble flow till a maximum radius (turn-around). (r=rmax, dr/dt=0) occurs at lin ~1.06

• Then it collapses to a singularity. (r=0): lin ~ 1.69

• Collapse to a point will never occurr in practice; dissipative physics and the process of violent relaxation will eventually intervene and convert the kinetic energy of collapse into random motions. This is named: virialization (occurs at 2tmax, and rvir = rmax/2)

• Once a non-linear object has formed, it will ontinue to attract matter in its neighbourhood ant its mass will grow by accretion of new material (secondary infall).

• Through dissipative processes, baryons lose energy and fall deeper in the potential well of DM.• If the cooling time of the baryon gas is smaller than the collapse time, fragmentation will take place and

smaller units can collapse

Distribution of the total specific angular momentum, JTot. The dotted-dashed and dashed line represents the quoted distribution for the halo n. 170 and n. 081, respectively, of van den Bosch et al. (2002). The dashed histogram is the distribution obtained from our model for the $10^{12} Msun halo and the solid one the angular momentum distribution for the density profile reproducing the NFW halo, as descried in Section 4.

Figure 1. DM halos shape changes with angular momentum. DM haloes generated with the model of Section 2. In panels (a)(c), the dashed line, the dotted line and the

solid line represent the density profile for a halo of 10^8M_sun, 10^9M_sun, and 10^10M_sun, respectively. In case (a), that is our reference case, the specific angularmomentum was obtained using the tidal torque theory as described in Del Popolo (2009). The specific angular momentum, h, for the halo of mass 10^9M_sun is 400 kpc km/s (spin= 0.04) and the baryon fraction fd = 0.04. In panel (b) we increased the value of specific ordered angular momentum, h, to 2h leaving unmodified the

baryonic fraction to fd and in panel (c) the specific ordered angular momentum is h/2 and the baryonic fraction equal to the previous cases, namely fd . Panel (d) shows the density profile of a halo of 10^10M_sun with zero ordered angular momentum and no baryons (solid line), while the dashed line is the Einasto profile.

Figure 2 DM halos shape changes with baryon fraction. Same as previous figure, Fig. 1, but in panel (a) we reduced the value of baryonic fraction of Fig. 1a (h, fd) to fd/3, and in panel (b) we reduced the value of baryonic fraction of Fig. 1c to fd/3; in panel (c) we increased the value of baryonic fraction of

Fig. 1a (h/2, fd) to 3fd, and in panel (d) we increased the value of baryonic fraction of Fig. 1c to 3fd.
