We develop the formalism to include substructure in the halo model of clustering. Real halos are not likely to be perfectly smooth, but have substructure which has so far been neglected in the halo model -- our formalism allows one to…
In this work, we investigate the physical and geometrical properties of a Schwarzschild black hole (BH) immersed in a Hernquist dark matter halo. To accomplish our purpose, one builds the BH metric by incorporating the Hernquist dark matter…

Conservative mass limits are often imposed on the dark matter halo catalogues extracted from N-body simulations. By comparing simulations with different mass resolutions, at $z=0$ we find that even for halos resolved by 100 particles, the…

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,…
