Disruption of Dark Matter Substructure: Fact or Fiction? (2017, background): “Alternatively, low mass substructure can reveal its presence by creating gaps in tidal (stellar) streams (e.g. Carlberg 2009; Sanders et al. 2016; Erkal et al. 2016).”
Stellar Streams Discovered in the Dark Energy Survey (2018, methodology): “…Majewski 2010; Bovy 2014; Bonaca et al. 2014; Gibbons et al. 2014; Price-Whelan et al. 2014; Sanders 2014; Bowden et al. 2015; Küpper et al. 2015b; Erkal et al. 2016b; Bovy et al. 2016), and the abundance of low-mass dark matter substructure (e.g., Ibata et al. 2002; Johnston et al. 2002;…”
The Spur and the Gap in GD-1: Dynamical Evidence for a Dark Substructure in the Milky Way Halo (2018, background): “…of subhalos due to the stellar disk (D’Onghia et al. 2010; Errani et al. 2017; Garrison-Kimmel et al. 2017), their density in the inner 20 kpc is high enough that a stream on a GD-1–like orbit is expected to have encountered at least one 106–107Me subhalo within the last ∼8 Gyr (Erkal et al. 2016).”
