The internal structure and abundance of dark matter halos and subhalos are powerful probes of the nature of dark matter. In order to compare observations with dark matter models, accurate theoretical predictions of these quantities are needed. We present a fast and accurate method to describe the tidal evolution of subhalos within their parent halo, based on a semi-analytic approach. We first consider idealized N-body simulations of subhalos within their host halo, using a generalized mass density profile that describes their properties in a variety of dark matter models at infall, including popular warm, cold, and self-interacting ones. Using these simulations we construct tidal "tracks" for the evolution of subhalos based on their conditions at infall. Second, we use the results of these simulations to build semi-analytic models for tidal effects, including stripping and heating and implement them within the code GALACTICUS. Our semi-analytic models can accurately predict the tidal evolution of both cored and cuspy subhalos, including the bound mass and density profiles, providing a powerful and efficient tool for studying the post-infall properties of subhalos in different dark matter models.

  1. The free-streaming length of dark matter from JWST observations of 28 strong gravitational lenses

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    JWST lensing data on 28 systems constrain dark matter free-streaming length to below 6-7 kpc and thermal relic mass above 6.5-7.4 keV, consistent with cold dark matter predictions.

  2. JWST Lensed Quasar Dark Matter Survey V: Measuring the minimum halo mass with strong gravitational lensing

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Strong lensing of 28 quasars constrains the CDM halo mass function cutoff to m_low < 10^{8.3} solar masses at 10:1 odds.

  3. JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey IV: Stringent warm dark matter constraints from the joint reconstruction of extended lensed arcs and quasar flux ratios

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding extended lensed arcs to quasar flux ratios in 28 JWST lenses tightens the dark-matter free-streaming limit to m_hm < 10^7.4 M⊙ (galacticus prior) and gives the most precise lensing measurement of subhalo abundance.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    SIDM core-collapse simulations produce a dense central core matching the lensing perturber, while CDM requires an IMBH with extreme tidal mass loss whose realism is left open.

  5. Bypassed Core Formation in Milky Way-Mass SIDM Halos: Implications for the Local Group Past-Pericenter Scenario

    astro-ph.GA 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    MW-mass SIDM halos bypass core formation and enter immediate core collapse due to baryonic preconditioning, allowing the compact stellar disk and bulge to survive close pericenter passages while the diffuse halo is mo...
