For idealized (spherical, smooth) dark matter halos described by single-parameter density profiles (such as the NFW profile) there exists a one-to-one mapping between the energy of the halo and the scale radius of its density profile. The…

Cold dark matter haloes consist of a relatively smooth dark matter component as well as a system of bound subhaloes. It is the prevailing practice to include all halo mass, including mass in subhaloes, in studies of halo density profiles.…

We report the results of a study of the distribution of galaxies in the projection along the radius ($R \leq 3R_{200c}$) for 157~groups and clusters of galaxies in the local Universe (0.01 < $z$ < 0.10) with line-of-sight velocity…

We extend the random-walk model of Vitvitska et al. for predicting the spins of dark matter halos from their merger histories. Using updated merger rates, orbital parameter distributions, and N-body constraints we show that this model can…

The excursion set theory based on spherical or ellipsoidal gravitational collapse provides an elegant analytic framework for calculating the mass function and the large-scale bias of dark matter haloes. This theory assumes that the…
