Globular Clusters with Dark Matter Halos. II. Evolution in a Tidal Field
Abstract
In this second paper in our series, we continue to test primordial scenarios of globular cluster formation, which predict that globular clusters formed in the early universe in the potential of dark matter minihalos. In this paper we use high-resolution N-body simulations to model tidal stripping experienced by primordial dark matter-dominated globular clusters in the static gravitational potential of the host dwarf galaxy. We test both cuspy …
