We use high resolution N-Body simulations to study the concentration and spin parameters of dark matter haloes in the mass range $10^8\, {\rm M}_{\odot}\, h^{-1} < {\rm M} < 10^{11}\, {\rm M}_{\odot}\, h^{-1}$ and redshifts $5{<}z{<}10$,…

N-body simulations of the hierarchical formation of cosmic structures suffer from the problem that the first objects to form always contain just a few particles. Although relaxation is not an issue for virialised objects containing millions…

A significant fraction of mass in the universe is believed to be in the form of dark matter (DM). Due to gravitational instability, the DM collapses hierarchically into DM halos. In this contribution we present a study of the formation and…
