Decaying dark matter (DDM) affects the evolution of cosmic structure relative to standard cold, collisionless, stable dark matter (CDM). We introduce a new semianalytic model for the effects of two-body DDM on halo structure and subhalo…
Dark matter (DM) halos simulated via N-body techniques are known to exhibit nearly universal profiles at equilibrium; however, their origin remains uncertain despite thorough investigation. This work aims to probe the origin of simulated DM…

Dark matter haloes form from the collapse of matter around special positions in the initial field, those where the local matter flows converge to a point. For such a triaxial collapse to take place, the energy shear tensor -- the source of…
