Numerical Artefacts in N-Body Simulations of Dark Matter Structure

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary

Frank van den Bosch (Yale University)

Numerical N-body simulations have become a prime tool in modern astrophysics, and are the go-to method to study the formation and evolution of dark matter halos. I will show that such simulations are subject to a number of artefacts that are a serious roadblock for much of our current and future science goals.
