We compute the bulk motions of cosmic voids, using a $\Lambda$CDM numerical simulation considering the mean velocities of the dark matter inside the void itself and that of the haloes in the surrounding shell. We find coincident values of…
We show that $\varsigma$, the radial location of the minimum in the differential radial mass profile $M^\prime(r)$ of a galaxy cluster, can probe the theory of gravity. We derived $M^\prime(r)$ of the dark matter halos of galaxy clusters…
The velocity distribution function (VDF) of dark matter (DM) halos in $\Lambda$CDM dissipationless cosmological simulations, which must be non-separable in its radial and tangential components, is still poorly known. We present the first…
We use 85 pairs of high resolution LCDM cosmological simulations from the NIHAO project to investigate why in dwarf galaxies neutral hydrogen (HI) linewidths measured at 50% of the peak flux W_50 /2 (from the hydrodynamical simulations)…
We analyze the properties of dark matter halos in the cold-plus-warm dark matter cosmologies (CWDM). We study their dependence on the fraction and velocity dispersion of the warm particle, keeping the free-streaming scale fixed. To this end…
It has been recently shown that the relative velocity between the dark matter and the baryons (vbc) at the time of recombination can affect the structure formation in the early universe (Tseliakhovich & Hirata 2010). We statistically…
Current explanation of the overabundance of dark matter subhalos in the Local Group (LG) indicates that there maybe a limit on mass of a halo, which can host a galaxy. This idea can be tested using voids in the distribution of galaxies: at…
We use N-body simulations to test the predictions of the redshift distortion in the power spectrum given by the halo model in which the clustering of dark matter particles is considered as a result both of the clustering of dark halos in…
Dark matter (DM) halos formed in CDM cosmologies seem to be characterized by a power law phase-space density profile. The density of the DM halos is often fitted by the NFW profile but a better fit is provided by the Sersic fitting formula.…
We investigate the stellar and dynamical mass profiles in the centres of 25 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) at redshifts of 0.05 $\leq z \leq$ 0.30. Our spectroscopy enables us to robustly measure the Gauss-Hermite higher order velocity…
We develop a simple analytic model for the gravitational clustering of dark haloes. The statistical properties of dark haloes are determined from the initial density field (assumed to be Gaussian) through an extension of the Press-Schechter…
I use $N$-body simulations to investigate the morphology and the dynamical evolution and properties of dark matter halos in clusters of galaxies. My sample consists of nine massive halos, coming from an Einstein-de Sitter universe with…
We study the effect of the relative velocity of dark matter and baryonic fluids after the epoch of recombination on the evolution of the first bound objects in the early universe. Recent work has shown that, although relative motion of the…
(Abridged) We report results of a series of non radiative N-body/SPH simulations in a LCDM cosmology. We find that the spin of the baryonic component is on average larger than that of the dark matter (DM) component and we find this effect…
We perform statistical analyses of the infall of dark-matter onto clusters in numerical simulations within the concordance LCDM model. By studying the infall profile around clusters of different mass, we find a linear relation between the…
[Abridged] We present an analysis of the relation between the masses of cluster- and group-sized halos, extracted from $\Lambda$CDM cosmological N-body and hydrodynamic simulations, and their velocity dispersions, at different redshifts…
We investigate the rms peculiar velocity of galaxy clusters in the Lambda cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) and tau cold dark matter ($\tau$CDM) cosmological models using N-body simulations. Cluster velocities for different cluster masses and…
We present a new approach for quantifying the abundance of galaxy clusters and constraining cosmological parameters using dynamical measurements. In the standard method, galaxy line-of-sight (LOS) velocities, $v$, or velocity dispersions…
Current data suggest that the central mass densities $\rho_0$ and phase-space densities $Q\equiv\rho_0/\sigma_V^3$ of cosmological halos in the present universe are correlated with their velocity dispersions $\sigma_V$ over a very wide…
We use a cosmological simulation of the Local Group to make quantitative and speculative predictions for direct detection experiments. Cold dark matter (CDM) halos form via a complex series of mergers, accretion events and violent…
