The Signatures of Self-interacting Dark Matter and Subhalo Disruption on Cluster Substructure

The abundance, distribution, and inner structure of satellites of galaxy clusters can be sensitive probes of the properties of dark matter. We run 30 cosmological zoom-in simulations with self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), with a velocity-dependent cross section, to study the properties of subhalo...
