Interaction between dark matter sub-halos and a galactic gaseous disk

We investigate the idea that the interaction of dark matter (DM) sub-halos with the gaseous disks of galaxies can be the origin for the observed holes and shells found in their neutral hydrogen (H I ) distributions. We use high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations to show that pure DM sub-halos impac...
