Top-down fragmentation of a warm dark matter filament

We present the first high-resolution N-body simulations of the fragmentation of dark matter filaments. Such fragmentation occurs in top-down scenarios of structure formation, when the dark matter is warm instead of cold. In a previous paper, we showed that warm dark matter (WDM) differs from the sta...
