Halo Models of large scale structure provide powerful and indispensable tools for phenomenological understanding of the clustering of matter in the Universe. While the halo model builds structures out of the superposition of haloes,…
The use of parallel computers and increasingly sophisticated software has allowed us to perform a large suite of N-body simulations using from $10^8$,to $10^9$ particles. We will report on our recent convergence tests of the halo mass…
Euclid's photometric galaxy cluster survey has the potential to be a very competitive cosmological probe. The main cosmological probe with observations of clusters is their number count, within which the halo mass function (HMF) is a key…
We study the stacked filaments connecting group-mass halo pairs, using dark-matter-only N-body simulations. We calculate the dark matter over-density profile of these stacked filaments at different redshifts as a function of the distance…
Warm Dark Matter (WDM) cosmologies are a viable alternative to the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) scenario. Unfortunately, an accurate scrutiny of the WDM predictions with N-body simulations has proven difficult due to numerical artefacts. Here, we…
We examined the reliability of estimates of pseudoisothermal, Burkert and NFW dark halo parameters for the methods based on the mass-modelling of the rotation curves.To do it we constructed the $\chi^2$ maps for the grid of the dark matter…
Profiles of dark matter-dominated halos at the group and cluster scales play an important role in modern cosmology. Using results from two very large cosmological $N$-body simulations, which increase the available volume at their mass…

We generalize previously derived analytic results for the one-loop power spectrum (PS) in scale-free models (with linear PS $P(k) \propto k^n$) to a broader class of such models in which part of the matterlike component driving the Einstein…
Dark matter-dominated cluster-scale halos act as an important cosmological probe and provide a key testing ground for structure formation theory. Focusing on their mass profiles, we have carried out (gravity-only) simulations of the…
We examine the present-day total stellar-to-halo mass (SHM) ratio as a function of halo mass for a new sample of simulated field galaxies using fully cosmological, LCDM, high resolution SPH + N-Body simulations.These simulations include an…
We present a non-parametric, empirically based, model for associating galaxy luminosities with halo/subhalo masses, based on a self-consistent treatment of subhalo mass loss and the subhalo mass function. We find that, at high mass, the…
We perform a series of high-resolution N-body simulations designed to examine the density profiles of dark matter halos. From 12 simulated halos ranging the mass of $2\times10^{12}\sim 5\times10^{14} h^{-1}{\rm M_\odot}$ (represented by…
The clustering of galaxies in ongoing and upcoming galaxy surveys contains a wealth of cosmological information, but extracting this information is a non-trivial task since galaxies and their host haloes are stochastic tracers of the matter…
Studies of flux anomalies statistics and perturbations in stellar streams have the potential to constrain models of warm dark matter (WDM), including sterile neutrinos. Producing these constraints requires a parametrization of the WDM mass…
We compare the B-band luminosity function of virialized halos with the mass function predicted by the Press-Schechter theory in cold dark matter cosmogonies. We find that all cosmological models fail to match our results if a constant…
Accurately predicting the shape of the HI velocity function of galaxies is regarded widely as a fundamental test of any viable dark matter model. Straightforward analyses of cosmological $N$-body simulations imply that the $\Lambda$CDM…
CUSP is a powerful formalism that recovers, from first principles and with no free parameter, all the macroscopic properties of dark matter haloes found in cosmological N-body simulations and unveils the origin of their characteristic…
The present work deals with the spherical collapse of matter overdensity for two reconstructed dark energy models. One of the models is reconstructed from parametrization of effective or total equation of state of energy components in the…
We use $N$-body simulations to measure mass functions in flat cosmological models with quintessence characterized by constant $w$ with $w=-1$, -2/3 and -1/2. The results are compared to the predictions of the formula proposed by Jenkins et…
