N-body simulations and analytical calculations of the gravitational collapse in an expanding universe predict that halos should form with a diverging inner density profile, the cusp. There are some observational indications that the dark…

The condensation of baryons within a dark matter (DM) halo during galaxy formation should result in some contraction of the halo as the combined system settles into equilibrium. We quantify this effect on the cuspy primordial halos…

We use numerical simulations in a Lambda CDM cosmology to model density profiles in a set of 16 dark matter haloes with resolutions of up to 7 million particles within the virial radius. These simulations allow us to follow robustly the…

We resolve the inner region of a massive cluster forming in a cosmological LCDM simulation with a mass resolution of 2*10^6 Msun and before z=4.4 even 3*10^5 Msun. This is a billion times less than the clusters final virial mass and a…
