We discuss the gamma-ray signal to be expected from dark matter (DM)annihilations at the Galactic Center. To describe the DM distribution in the Galactic halo we base on the Jeans equation for self-gravitating, anisotropic equilibria. In…

Rotation curves of galaxies probe their total mass distributions, including dark matter. Dwarf galaxies are excellent systems to investigate the dark matter density distribution, as they tend to have larger fractions of dark matter compared…

We study the pseudo phase-space density, $\rho(r)/\sigma^3(r)$, of $\Lambda$CDM dark matter halos with and without baryons (baryons+DM, and pure DM), by using the model introduced in Del Popolo (2009), which takes into account the effect of…
N-body simulations of dark matter halos show that the density is cusped near the center of the halo. The density profile behaves as $r^{-\gamma}$ in the inner parts, where $\gamma \simeq 1$ for the NFW model and $\gamma \simeq 1.5$ for the…

Cosmological simulations of dark matter structures have identified a set of universal profiles, and similar characteristics have been seen in non-cosmological simulations. It has therefore been speculated whether these profiles of…
We consider the problem of determining the structure of the dark halo of nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) from the spherical Jeans equations. Whether the dark halos are cusped or cored at the centre is an important strategic problem…
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)…
We perform a series of high-resolution N-body simulations designed to examine the density profiles of dark matter halos. From 12 simulated halos ranging the mass of $2\times10^{12}\sim 5\times10^{14} h^{-1}{\rm M_\odot}$ (represented by…
We calculate the density profiles of virialized halos in the case of structure evolving hierarchically from a scale-free Gaussian delta-field having a power spectrum $P(k)\propto k^n$ in a Omega=1 Universe; we suppose that the initial…
Recently, two-component spherical galaxy models have been presented, where the stellar profile is described by a Jaffe law, and the total density by another Jaffe law, or by an $r^{-3}$ law at large radii. We extend these two families to…
