The evolution of the phase-space density profile in dark matter (DM) halos is investigated by means of constrained simulations, designed to control the merging history of a given DM halo. Halos evolve through a series of quiescent phases of…
The JWST mission is in the process of probing the galaxy mass function at $z>10$, when conceivably any delay in halo assembly due to the presence of a dwarf galaxy-scale power spectrum cutoff may drastically suppress the number of galaxies…
It is known observationally that the major axes of galaxy clusters and their brightest cluster galaxies are roughly aligned with each other. To understand the origin of the alignment, we identify 40 cluster-sized dark matter (DM) haloes…
We investigate the role of angular momentum in the clustering of dark matter haloes. We make use of data from two high-resolution N-body simulations spanning over four orders of magnitude in halo mass, from $10^{9.8}$ to $10^{14}\ h^{-1}\…
We describe a semi-analytic model to predict the triaxial shapes of dark matter halos utilizing the sequences of random merging events captured in merger trees to follow the evolution of each halo's energy tensor. When coupled with a simple…
The dark matter halo properties, for example, mass, spin and concentration play a significant role in the formation and evolution of bars in disk galaxies. This study highlights the importance of a new parameter: the dark matter halo…
We explore the relation between the structure and mass accretion histories of dark matter halos using a suite of cosmological simulations. We confirm that the formation time, defined as the time when the virial mass of the main progenitor…
I derive the mass-temperature relation and its time evolution for clusters of galaxies in different cosmologies by means of two different models. The first one is a modification and improvement of a model by Del Popolo & Gambera(1999),…
We present a new model to describe the galaxy-dark matter connection across cosmic time, which unlike the popular subhalo abundance matching technique is self-consistent in that it takes account of the facts that (i) subhalos are accreted…
Dark matter halos grow by hierarchical clustering as they merge together to produce ever larger structures. During these merger processes, the smaller halo can potentially survive as a subhalo of the larger halo, so a galaxy-scale halo…
Hierarchical structure formation theory is based on the notion that mergers drive galaxy evolution, so a considerable framework of semi-analytic models and N-body simulations has been constructed to calculate how mergers transform a growing…
The interacting dark energy (IDE) model, which considers the interaction between dark energy and dark matter, provides a natural mechanism to alleviate the coincidence problem and can also relieve the observational tensions under the…
Linear halo bias is the response of dark matter halo number density to a long wavelength fluctuation in the dark matter density. Using abundance matching between separate universe simulations which absorb the latter into a change in the…
We extended the modified Lemaitre-Tolman model taking into account the effect of angular momentum and dynamical friction. The inclusion of these quantities in the equation of motion modifies the evolution of a perturbation, initially moving…
Dark matter (DM) halos formed in CDM cosmologies seem to be characterized by a power law phase-space density profile. The density of the DM halos is often fitted by the NFW profile but a better fit is provided by the Sersic fitting formula.…
In the standard model of cosmology, structure emerges out of non-rotational flow and the angular momentum of collapsing halos is induced by tidal torques. The growth of halo angular momentum in the linear and quasi-linear phases is…
The formation of the disk and feedback from supernova winds impacts the distribution of dark matter in galaxies. Recently, Di Cintio et al. (2014b) characterized the halo response from baryonic processes in hydrodynamical simulations via a…
The growth of structure probes the re-ionization history and quasar abundance in the Universe, constituting an important probe of the cosmological predictions. Halos are not directly observable, however, so their mass and evolution must be…
Dark matter haloes grow at a rate that depends on the value of the cosmological parameters $\sigma_8$ and $\Omega_{\rm m}$ through the initial power spectrum and the linear growth factor. While halo abundance is routinely used to constrain…
Adaptive SPH and N-body simulations were carried out to study the collapse and evolution of dark matter halos that result from the gravitational instability and fragmentation of cosmological pancakes. Such halos resemble those formed by…
