Dark Matter (DM) direct detection experiments usually assume the simplest possible 'Standard Halo Model' for the Milky Way (MW) halo in which the velocity distribution is Maxwellian. This model assumes that the MW halo is an isotropic,…
We propose that angular momentum transfer from the baryons to the Dark Matter (DM) during the early stages of galaxy formation can flatten the halo inner density profile and modify the halo dynamics. We compute the phase-space distribution…
N-body simulations of dark matter halos show that the density profiles of halos behave as $\rho(r)\propto r^{-\alpha(r)}$, where the density logarithmic slope $\alpha \simeq 1\sim1.5$ in the center and $\alpha \simeq 3\sim 4$ in the outer…
We study properties of dark matter halos at high redshifts z=2-10 for a vast range of masses with the emphasis on dwarf halos with masses 10^7-10^9 Msun/h. We find that the density profiles of relaxed dwarf halos are well fitted by the NFW…
Various analytic expressions have been proposed for the density profile of dark matter halos. We consider six of these expressions for which the density profile has a power-law fall-off rho proportional to r^{-3} at large radii and a…
