Orbital decay in triaxial shaped dark matter haloes

In cosmological simulations of structure formation of the universe, the dark matter halos in which galaxies are embedded in, are triaxial in shape. Simulations which focus in on galaxies in isolation do not use triaxial dark matter halos but use spherical shaped halos instead, as triaxial equilibriu...
