We study the evolution of correlation function of dark matter halos in the CDM class of models. We show that the halo correlation function does not evolve in proportion with the correlation function of the underlying mass distribution.…

We study evolution of dark matter substructures, especially how they lose the mass and change density profile after they fall in gravitational potential of larger host halos. We develop an analytical prescription that models the subhalo…

We use N-body simulations to investigate the structure of dark halos in the standard Cold Dark Matter cosmogony. Halos are excised from simulations of cosmologically representative regions and are resimulated individually at high…
