Haloes going MAD

 

The Data

Prior to the workshop we are going to provide the participants with a set of data files to be analysed with their particular halo finder. This data will include:



1. mock haloes:


  1. a host halo following a pre-defined NFW and/or Hernquist density profile

  2. a single subhalo embedded within a host halo, both following again an NFW or Hernquist density profile

  3. a sub-subhalo embedded within ... (you get the idea)

  4. a partially disrupted subhalo within a host halo (remnant & streams to be discovered!)

  5. what masses and density profiles will different halo finders recover...




  1. 2.a full cosmological box:


  1. a LCDM simulation to derive...

  2. the mass function

  3. the spin parameter distribution

  4. the concentration-mass relation

  5. the subhalo mass function for the largest object



  1. 3.a re-simulation of an individual galaxy group:


  1. the Local Group of galaxies (i.e. MW, M31 and M33) in various resolutions

  2. here the focus obviously lies with the properties of subhaloes...
