We present the results of a study of the average mass profile around galaxies using weak gravitational lensing. We use 45.5 deg^2 of R_C band imaging data from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) and define a sample of 1.2\times 10^5…
The shapes of individual self-gravitating structures of an ensemble of identical, collisionless particles have remained elusive for decades. In particular, a reason why mass density profiles like the Navarro-Frenk-White or the Einasto…
Cosmological models in which dark matter consists of cold elementary particles predict that the dark halo population should extend to masses many orders of magnitude below those at which galaxies can form. Here we report a cosmological…
Cosmological N--body simulations have revealed a remarkable similarity in the structure of dark matter halos formed in hierarchically clustering universes. Regardless of halo mass, cosmological parameters, and power spectrum of initial…
The rotation curve, the total mass and the gravitational potential of the Galaxy are sensitive measurements of the dark matter halo profile. In this publication cuspy and cored DM halo profiles are analysed with respect to recent…
Cumulative observational evidence confirm that the surface gravity of dark matter (DM) halo mu_{0 D} = r_0 rho_0 where r_0 and rho_0 are the halo core radius and central density, respectively, is nearly constant and independent of galaxy…
In this paper, in the framework of the secondary infall model, the correlation between the central surface density and the halo core radius of galaxy, and cluster of galaxies, dark matter haloes was analyzed, this having recently been…
The system of stability equations for galactic halos is under-determined in most of the models of dark matter (DM). Conventionally, the issue is resolved by taking the temperature as a constant, and the chemical potential and the mass…
We confirm and extend the recent finding that the central surface density r_0*rho_0 galaxy dark matter halos, where r_0 and rho_0 are the halo core radius and central density, is nearly constant and independent of galaxy luminosity. Based…
Measuring the density profile and mass concentration of dark-matter haloes is a key test of the standard cold dark matter paradigm. Such objects are dark and thus challenging to characterise, but they can be studied via gravitational…
We derive the mass model of the Milky Way (MW) using a cored dark matter (DM) halo profile and recent data. The method used consists in fitting a spherically symmetric model of the Galaxy with a Burkert DM halo profile to available data: MW…
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…
We perform a series of simulations of a Galactic mass dark matter halo at different resolutions, our largest uses over three billion particles and has a mass resolution of 1000 M_sun. We quantify the structural properties of the inner dark…
We derive the mass density profiles of dark matter halos that are implied by high spatial resolution rotation curves of low surface brightness galaxies. We find that at small radii, the mass density distribution is dominated by a nearly…
We investigate the dark matter halos of 256 star-forming disc-like galaxies at $z\sim 1$ using the KMOS redshift one spectroscopic survey (KROSS). This sample covers the redshifts $0.6 \leq z \leq 1.04$, effective radii $0.69 \leq R_e…
Collisionless particles, such as cold dark matter, interact only by gravity and do not have any associated length scale, therefore the dark halos of galaxies should have negligible core radii. This expectation has been supported by…
The Cold Dark Matter paradigm successfully explains many phenomena on scales larger than galaxies, but seems to predict galaxy halos which are more centrally concentrated and have a lumpier substructure than observed. Endowing cosmic dark…
Gravitational potential fluctuations driven by bursty star formation can kinematically 'heat up' dark matter at the centres of dwarf galaxies. A key prediction of such models is that, at a fixed dark matter halo mass, dwarfs with a higher…
I review the up-to-date status on the properties of the Dark Matter density distribution around Galaxies. The rotation curves of spirals all conform to a same Universal profile which can be uniquely decomposed as the sum of an exponential…
