Negligible Effects of Baryons on the Angular Momentum Scaling Relations of Galactic Dark Matter Halos

In cosmological simulations without baryons, the relation between the specific angular momentum j _h and mass M _h of galactic dark matter halos has the well-established form ${j}_{{\rm{h}}}\propto {M}_{{\rm{h}}}^{2/3}$ . This is invariably adopted as the starting point in efforts to understand the...
