We investigate the mass profile of LambdaCDM halos using a suite of numerical simulations spanning five decades in halo mass, from dwarf galaxies to rich galaxy clusters. Our analysis confirms the proposal of Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW)…
Dark-matter halos grown in cosmological simulations appear to have central NFW-like density cusps with mean values of $d\log\rho/d\log r \approx -1$, and some dispersion, which is generally parametrized by the varying index $\alpha$ in the…
Among the most fundamental properties of a dark matter halo is its density profile. Motivated by the recent proposal by Garc\'ia et al. [R. Garc\'ia et. al., MNRAS 521, 2464 (2023)] to define a dynamical halo as the collection of orbiting…
