We present rotation curve fits to 175 late-type galaxies from the Spitzer Photometry & Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) database using seven dark matter (DM) halo profiles: pseudo-isothermal (pISO), Burkert, Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW),…
In this paper, we construct the circular velocity curve of the Milky Way out to $\sim 30$ kpc, providing an updated model of the dark matter density profile. We derive precise parallaxes for 120,309 stars with a data-driven model, using…
We study the dependence of surface mass density profiles, which can be directly measured by weak gravitational lensing, on the orientation of haloes with respect to the line-of-sight direction, using a suite of $N$-body simulations. We find…
Using the model for (bottom-up) hierarchical halo growth recently developed by Salvador-Sol\'e et al. (2012), we derive the typical spherically averaged density profile for haloes with several relevant masses in the concordant warm dark…
We have investigated the relation between the two-point spatial correlation function and the density profile of the dark matter halo in the strongly non-linear regime. It is well known that when the density fluctuation grows into dark…
The structure of dark matter haloes is often described by radial density profiles motivated by cosmological simulations. These are typically assumed to have a fixed functional form (e.g. NFW), with some free parameters that can be…
Using an analytic model calibrated against numerical simulations, we calculate the central densities of dark matter halos in a ``conventional'' cold dark matter model with a cosmological constant (LCDM) and in a ``tilted'' model (TLCDM)…
During hierarchical clustering, smaller masses generally collapse earlier than larger masses and so are denser on the average. The core of a small mass halo could be dense enough to resist disruption and survive undigested, when it is…
We propose an analytic metric describing rotating black holes surrounded by generic dark matter halos. This metric is an exact solution of the field equations that incorporates a dark matter halo with a central density spike in the vicinity…
The dark matter halo mass function is a key repository of cosmological information over a wide range of mass scales, from individual galaxies to galaxy clusters. N-body simulations have established that the friends-of-friends (FOF) mass…
We build a simple analytical model for the bias of dark matter halos that applies to objects defined by an arbitrary density threshold, $200\leq\deltas\leq 1600$, and that provides accurate predictions from low-mass to high-mass halos. We…
Accurate modelling of the one-to-two halo transition has long been difficult to achieve. We demonstrate that physically motivated halo definitions that respect the bimodal phase-space distribution of dark matter particles near halos…
The inner region of a subhalo's density distribution is particularly sensitive to dark matter microphysics, with alternative dark matter models leading to both cored and steeply-rising inner density profiles. This work investigates how the…
We investigate the structure of the dark matter halo formed in the cold dark matter scenario using $N$-body simulations. We simulated 12 halos with the mass of $6.6\times 10^{11}M_{\odot}$ to $8.0\times 10^{14}M_{\odot}$. In almost all…
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…
PINOCCHIO (PINpointing Orbit-Crossing Collapsed Hierarchical Objects) is a new algorithm for identifying dark matter halos in a given numerical realisation of the linear density field in a hierarchical universe (Monaco et al. 2001). It is…
The density profiles of dark matter halos are typically modeled using empirical formulae fitted to the density profiles of relaxed halo populations. We present a neural network model that is trained to learn the mapping from the raw density…

We investigate the effect of dark energy on the density profiles of dark matter haloes with a suite of cosmological N-body simulations and use our results to test analytic models. We consider constant equation of state models, and allow…
Although the currently favored cold dark matter plus cosmological constant model for structure formation assumes an n=1 scale-invariant initial power spectrum, most inflation models produce at least mild deviations from n=1. Because the…
