Dark matter halo merger histories beyond cold dark matter – I. Methods and application to warm dark matter
Dark matter halo merger histories beyond cold dark matter – I. Methods and application to warm dark matter
We describe a methodology to accurately compute halo mass functions, progenitor mass functions, merger rates and merger trees in non-cold dark matter universes using a self-consistent treatment of the generalized extended Press–Schechter formalism. Our approach permits rapid exploration of the subhalo population of galactic haloes in dark matter models with …
