Diversity in density profiles of self-interacting dark matter satellite halos

Diversity in density profiles of self-interacting dark matter satellite halos

We present results from N-body simulations of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) subhalos, which could host ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies, inside a Milky-Way-like main halo. We find that high-concentration subhalos are driven to gravothermal core collapse, while low-concentration subhalos d...
