Low stellar mass: feedback can t change DM Core Cusp Tollet et al. 2015 Also: Governato+12; Penarrubia+12; Garrison-Kimmel+13, Di Cintio+14
Low stellar mass: feedback can t change DM looks like N-body feedback makes cored halos Tollet et al. 2015 10 6 M M (M ) 10 10 M Also: Governato+12; Penarrubia+12; Garrison-Kimmel+13, Di Cintio+14
Low stellar mass: feedback can t change DM looks like N-body feedback makes cored halos Below M ~10 6 M not enough energy from supernovae to alter DM structure Tollet et al. 2015 10 6 M M (M ) 10 10 M Also: Governato+12; Penarrubia+12; Garrison-Kimmel+13, Di Cintio+14
A different feedback scheme: similar picture FIRE: Hopkins, Keres, Onorbe, Faucher-Giguere, Quataert, Murray, JSB (2014) Onorbe+2015 Black = DM only Red = With Baryons mdm ~ 1000 M mgas ~ 250 M fres ~ 10 pc MHALO=10 10 M M =2.5x10 6 M
Dark matter core sizes: Rcore ~= R R MHALO=10 9.5 M M =10 4 M MHALO=10 10 M M =(2-3)x10 6 M Onorbe+2015
Very low mass galaxies: no observable core Onorbe+2015 MHALO=10 9.5 M M =10 4 M MHALO=10 10 M M =(2-3)x10 6 M
Consensus: Small galaxies => cuspy/dense halos Below M ~10 6 M not enough energy from supernovae to alter DM structure => MHALO=10 10 M or Vmax~40 km/s Governato+12; Penarrubia+12; Garrison-Kimmel +13, Di Cintio+14; Tollet+15; Onorbe+15; et al. Motivates the study of dwarf galaxies

EASY ANSWER only the biggest clumps have enough stars to see? e.g. JSB, Kravtsov, & Weinberg 2000

EASY ANSWER
TOO BIG TO FAIL PROBLEM Aquarius simulations (Springel et al.) Where are these massive halos? Theory Data Boylan-Kolchin, JSB, Kaplinghat+11,12
TOO BIG TO FAIL PROBLEM => MHALO=10 10 M or Vmax~40 km/s At critical scale: M ~10 6 M Where are these massive halos? Aquarius simulations (Springel et al.) Theory Data Boylan-Kolchin, JSB, Kaplinghat+11,12
TOO BIG TO FAIL IN THE MILKY WAY Boylan-Kolchin+2012 Median: ~10 missing per Milky Way. (Garrison-Kimmel+14). Only 4 of the classical dwarfs have have Mstar > 2.10 6 Msun Same issue is present around Andromeda galaxy (Tollerud+14) NOTE: If Milky Way is low-mass 8.e11 Msun then the problem goes away, but then existence LMC/SMC is a new problem (Jiang & vdbosch 2015)
TOO BIG TO FAIL IN THE LOCAL FIELD Garrison-Kimmel + 2014 Boylan-Kolchin+2012 Median: ~15 missing TBTF halos in Local Field. Only 11 galaxies known, 7 w/ Mstar>2.10 6 ELVIS
WHAT ABOUT MORE DISTANT GALAXIES (~10 Mpc)? Rodrıguez-Puebla+ (2016; Bolshoi-Planck) Galaxy counts look good for Vmax>60 km/s Bolshoi / Theory HI data Vmax~60 km/s
WHAT ABOUT MORE DISTANT GALAXIES (~10 Mpc)? Galaxy counts look low for Vmax<40 km/s Where are these massive halos? Papastergis & Shankar 2016 Bolshoi / Theory HI data Vmax~60 km/s
WHAT ABOUT MORE DISTANT GALAXIES (~10 Mpc)? Benefit of the doubt: VHI may be below halo Vmax Vmax VHI Papastergis & Shankar 2016
WHAT ABOUT MORE DISTANT GALAXIES (~10 Mpc)? This relation DEMANDS that the counts work Papastergis & Shankar 2016
WHAT ABOUT MORE DISTANT GALAXIES (~10 Mpc)? Do the measured densities work out? Papastergis & Shankar 2016
WHAT ABOUT MORE DISTANT GALAXIES (~10 Mpc)? Do the measured densities work out? Papastergis & Shankar 2016
WHAT ABOUT MORE DISTANT GALAXIES (~10 Mpc)? Do the measured densities work out? Papastergis & Shankar 2016
TOO BIG TO FAIL IN THE FIELD Under-dense Compares to di Cintio+14 profiles that include baryon feedback (core) correction. OK Papastergis & Shankar+15 Also: Papastergis+2014; Klypin+2014
TOO BIG TO FAIL IN THE FIELD IMPORTANT: Comparison uses baryon-affected profiles (Di Cintio+14) Under-dense Ferrero + 2012 OK R Papastergis & Shankar15 Also: Papastergis+2014; Klypin+2014
Many galaxies <40 km/s appear to be under-dense at very large radii > R. WHY IS THIS SO TROUBLING? Current hydro-feedback models do not affect profiles at these large radii. Ferrero + 2012 R
TOO BIG TO FAIL SUMMARY Exists in Andromeda, Local Field, & more distant field. Solutions that appeal to Milky Way mass or Milky Way environment (Brooks+13, Arraki+13) are probably not going to work. Halos with Vmax ~ 20-50 km/s (Mvir ~ 10 10 Msun ) are either Less Numerous and/or Less Dense than predicted in LCDM N-body simulations Stellar mass scale approaching the point where baryon feedback may not solve problem.
