On the Life and Death of Satellite Haloes
Abstract
We study the evolution of dark matter satellites orbiting inside more massive haloes using semi-analytical tools coupled with high-resolution N-Body simulations. We select initial satellite sizes, masses, orbital energies, and eccentricities as predicted by hierarchical models of structure formation. Both the satellite and the main halo are described by a Navarro, Frenk & White density profile with various concentrations.
