Going Non-Linear: Contrasting LCDM with observations of the internal properties of galaxies
Event Start:
2020-09-14T15:00:00
Event End:
2020-09-14T16:00:00
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.
