Abstract

High resolution simulations of Galactic Cold Dark Matter halos reveal staggering amounts of substructure, both in configuration and velocity space. In this talk I will focus on the latter. In addition to spatially localized subhalos and streams, I will also discuss so-called debris flows -- incompletely phase-mixed material originating in numerous accretion and merging events that are the hallmark of the hierarchical build-up of the host halo. Finally, I will briefly discuss the presence and direct detection consequences of a dark disk in the Eris simulation, a cosmological simulation including baryonic physics of the formation of a realistic looking disk galaxy.
