We present a new algorithm which groups the subhaloes found in cosmological N- body simulations by structure finders such as SUBFIND into dark matter haloes whose formation histories are strictly hierarchical. One advantage of these…

We use a set of large cosmological N-body simulations to study the internal structure of dark matter haloes which form in scale-free models. We find that the radius r_178 corresponding to a mean interior overdensity of 178 accurately…

We have identified over 2000 well resolved cluster halos, and also their associated bound subhalos, from the output of a 1024^3 particle cosmological N-body simulation (of box size 320 h^-1 Mpc and softening length 3.2 h^-1 kpc). This has…

We examine the coarse-grained phase-space density profiles of a set of recent, high-resolution simulations of galaxy-sized Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos. Over two and a half decades in radius the phase-space density closely follows a…

We investigate the structural properties, distribution and abundance of LCDM dark matter subhaloes using the Phi-4096 and Uchuu suite of N-body cosmological simulations. Thanks to the combination of their large volume, high mass resolution…

We present a model for the structure of the particle phase space average density ($P^2SAD$) in galactic haloes, introduced recently as a novel measure of the clustering of dark matter. Our model is based on the stable clustering hypothesis…

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 study the formation of the Milky Way's halo in a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology by scaling down a high resolution simulation of the formation of a cluster of galaxies. We determine how much phase-space substructure is left over from the objects…
