In this work, we study the formation and evolution of dark matter halos by means of the spherical infall model with shell-crossing. We present a framework to tackle this effect properly based on the numerical follow-up, with time, of that…
Recently Chen et al. (2018, ApJ, 861, 58) accurately determined the volume weighted halo velocity bias in simulations, and found that the deviation of velocity bias from unity is much weaker than the peak model prediction. Here we present a…
We have explored the dynamical and mass evolution of halos driven by large-scale filaments using a dark matter-only cosmological simulation with the help of a phase-space analysis. Since a non-negligible number of galaxies is expected to…
It is common practice to describe formal size and mass scales of dark matter halos as spherical overdensities with respect to an evolving density threshold. Here, we critically investigate the evolutionary effects of several such commonly…
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…
Motivated by the recent direct detection of cosmological gas infall, we develop an analytical model for calculating the mean density profile around an initial overdensity that later forms a dark matter halo. We account for the problem of…
We present a spectroscopic sample of 910 distant halo stars from the Hypervelocity Star survey from which we derive the velocity dispersion profile of the Milky Way halo. The sample is a mix of 74% evolved horizontal branch stars and 26%…

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…
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…
I apply the modified spherical infall model to test the dependence of the shape of density profiles of dark matter halos on redshift. The model predicts that the density profile of a halo of a given mass steepens with time and its…
Adaptive SPH and N-body simulations were carried out to study the evolution of the equilibrium structure of dark matter halos that result from the gravitational instability and fragmentation of cosmological pancakes. Such halos resemble…

We study the formation of the Milky Way's halo in a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology by scaling down a high resolution simulation of the formation of a cluster of galaxies. We determine how much phase-space substructure is left over from the objects…
