On the formation of dwarf galaxies and stellar haloes
Using analytic arguments and a suite of very high resolution (∼103 M ⊙ per particle) cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, we argue that high-redshift, z ∼ 10, M ∼ 10 8 M ⊙ haloes, form the smallest 'baryonic building block' (BBB) for galaxy formation. These haloes are just massive enou...
