We derive the density profile of cold dark matter halos using a self-similar accretion model. We show that if the clumpiness of the infalling matter is taken into account, then the inner density slope, d(log{rho})/d(log{r}), is close to -1.…
In order to unravel the nature of the dark matter (DM) we have proposed a particle-physics motivated model called Bound Dark Matter (BDM) that consist in DM massless particles above a threshold energy Ec that acquire mass below it due to…
With SDSS galaxy data and halo data from up-to-date N-body simulations we construct a semi-empirical catalog (SEC) of early-type systems by making a self-consistent bivariate statistical match of stellar mass (M_star) and velocity…
In this work we propose a universal basic mass density and a universal basic metric inside dark matter halos in the framework of Einstein equations providing an analytical ground for learning about dark matter. In a previous work the…
In the past years a wealth of observations allowed to unravel the structural properties of the Dark Matter Halos around spirals. First, their rotation curves follow an Universal profile (URC) that can be described in terms of an exponential…
If modified gravity holds, but the weak lensing analysis is done in the standard way, one finds that dark matter halos have peculiar shapes, not following the standard Navarro-Frenk-White profiles, and are fully predictable from the…
We use the NIHAO simulations to investigate the effects of baryonic physics on the time evolution of Dark Matter central density profiles. The sample is made of $\approx 70$ independent high resolution hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy…
Maximum disk mass models fitted to galaxy rotation curves are used to show that dark matter (DM) halos in late-type and dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies satisfy well defined scaling laws. Halos in less luminous galaxies have smaller core…
The free streaming of warm dark matter particles dampens the fluctuation spectrum, flattens the mass function of haloes and imprints a fine grained phase density limit for dark matter structures. The phase space density limit is expected to…
We present a model that builds ``dark matter"-like halo density profiles from free-falling zero-point vacuum fluctuations. It does not require a modification of Newton's laws, nor the existence of as-yet-undiscovered dark matter particles.…
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…
Recent studies in different types of galaxies reveal that the product of the central density and the core radius ($\rho_cr_c$) is a constant. However, some empirical studies involving galaxy clusters suggest that the product $\rho_cr_c$…
The spin, $\lambda$, of dark matter (DM) halos in cosmological simulations follows a log normal distribution and has little correlation with galaxy observables. As such, there is currently no way to infer the $\lambda$ parameter of…
Properties of dark matter halos are reviewed. Taken from different publications, we present results on (1) the mass and velocity functions, (2) density and velocity profiles, and (3) concentration of halos. In the range of radii…
Disc-halo decomposition on rotationally supported star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at $z>1$ are often limited to massive galaxies ($M_\star>10^{10}~M_\odot$) and rely on either deep Integral Field Spectroscopy data or stacking analyses. We…
The statistical mechanics of N cold dark matter (CDM) particles interacting via a softened gravitational potential is reviewed in the microcanonical ensemble and mean-field limit. A phase diagram for the system is computed as a function of…
Using an analytic model calibrated against numerical simulations, we calculate the central densities of dark matter halos in a ``conventional'' cold dark matter model with a cosmological constant (LCDM) and in a ``tilted'' model (TLCDM)…
In this paper we study the density profiles of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) haloes spanning the full observable mass range, from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters. Using realistic simulations that model the baryonic physics relevant…
We investigate how stellar disks sustain their ultrathin structure throughout their evolution. We follow the evolution of ultrathin stellar disks with varying dark matter (DM) halo concentration ($c$) using collisionless $N$-body…
We measure the average gravitational shear profile of 6 massive clusters (M_vir ~ 10^15 M_sun) at z=0.3 out to a radius ~2h^-1 Mpc. The measurements are fitted to a generalized NFW-like halo model \rho(r) with an arbitrary r -> 0 slope…
