Distinguishing Dark Matter Cusps from Cores Using Globular Clusters
Globular clusters (GCs) provide valuable insight into the properties of their host galaxies’ dark matter halos. Using N -body simulations incorporating semianalytic dynamical friction and GC−GC merger prescriptions, we study the evolution of GC radial distributions and mass functions in cuspy and co...
