Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of Massive Black Hole Binaries on the Morphology of Merger Remnants

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out a suite of N-body simulations of equal-mass galaxy collisions, varying the initial orbits and density profiles for the merging galaxies and running simulations both with and without central MBHs.
Journal ArticleDOI

To β or not to β : can higher-order Jeans analysis break the mass–anisotropy degeneracy in simulated dwarfs?

TL;DR: In this article, a non-parametric higher-order Jeans analysis method, GRAVSPHERE, was used to investigate cusps and cores in density distributions of 32 simulated dwarf galaxies comparable to classical Local Group dwarfs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two strong-lensing clusters confront universal dark-matter profiles

TL;DR: In this paper, the projected mass distribution in the inner regions of the galaxy clusters SSDS J1004+411 and ACO 1689 has been used to obtain a universal inner profile for dark matter structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring dark matter substructure with galaxy–galaxy flexion statistics

TL;DR: In this paper, a method to constrain substructure properties using the variance of weak gravitational flexion in a galaxy-galaxy lensing context is proposed, which is a statistical method, requiring many foreground-background pairs of galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Adaptive softening for collisionless N-body simulations: eliminating spurious haloes

TL;DR: In this paper, a NOVel form of adaptive softening (NovA) is proposed for collisionless $N$-body simulations, implemented in the Ramses adaptive mesh refinement code.
