Orientations of Dark Matter Halos in FIRE-2 Milky Way–mass Galaxies

Orientations of Dark Matter Halos in FIRE-2 Milky Way–mass Galaxies

The shape and orientation of dark matter (DM) halos are sensitive to the microphysics of the DM particles, yet in many mass models, the symmetry axes of the Milky Way’s DM halo are often assumed to be aligned with the symmetry axes of the stellar disk. This is well motivated for the inner DM halo, b...
