Going Non-Linear: Contrasting LCDM with observations of the internal properties of galaxies

Event Start:

Event End:

Event Information:

The Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) paradigm has been spectacularly successful at reproducing observations of the cosmic microwave background and of the large-scale structure of the Universe. On these scales, the structures compared with the theory are in the linear or mildly non-linear regime, where observations are well established and theoretical predictions are robust. LCDM also makes specific predictions in the non-linear regime; in particular, for the abundance, structure and substructure of dark matter halos, the sites of galaxy formation.
