I report recent results of numerical simulations designed to study the inner structure of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos. This work confirms the proposal of Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW) that the shape of LambdaCDM halo mass profiles differs…
We study the mass, velocity dispersion, and anisotropy profiles of $\Lambda$CDM halos using a suite of N-body simulations of unprecedented numerical resolution (the {\it Aquarius Project}). Our analysis confirms a number of results claimed…
We use techniques from nonparametric function estimation theory to extract the density profiles, and their derivatives, from a set of N-body dark matter halos. We consider halos generated from LCDM simulations of gravitational clustering,…
We used high resolution dark matter only cosmological simulations to investigate the structural properties of Lambda Cold Dark Matter ($\Lambda$CDM) haloes over cosmic time. The haloes in our study range in mass from $\sim 10^{10}$ to $\sim…
We use N-body simulations to investigate the radial dependence of the density and velocity dispersion in cold dark matter (CDM) halos. In particular, we explore how closely Q rho/sigma^3, a surrogate measure of the phase-space density,…
We show that the two basic assumptions of the model recently proposed by Manrique and coworkers for the universal density profile of cold dark matter (CDM) halos, namely that these objects grow inside out in periods of smooth accretion and…
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 explore the possibility that the density profiles of elliptical galaxies and cold dark matter (CDM) halos found in cosmological simulations can be understood in terms of the same physical process, collisionless gravitational collapse. To…
We use a set of high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations to investigate the inner mass profile of galaxy-sized cold dark matter (CDM) halos. These simulations extend the thorough numerical convergence study presented in Paper I of…
I report on recent progress in our understanding of the structure of CDM halos, and in particular of the inner mass profile of galaxy-sized systems. Numerical simulations have consistently shown that the density profiles of CDM halos…
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)…
We investigate the apparent power-law scaling of the pseudo phase space density (PPSD) in CDM halos. We study fluid collapse, using the close analogy between the gas entropy and the PPSD in the fluid approximation. Our hydrodynamic…
We have recently shown that both the Prugniel-Simien model and Sersic's function (hereafter referred to as the Einasto model when applied to internal density profiles) describe simulated dark matter halos better than an NFW-like model with…
Recent advances in N-body simulations of dark matter halos have shown that three-parameter models, in particular the Einasto profile characterized by d ln {\rho}(r)/d ln r / r with a shape parameter {\alpha} < 0.3, are able to produce…
Profiles of dark matter-dominated halos at the group and cluster scales play an important role in modern cosmology. Using results from two very large cosmological $N$-body simulations, which increase the available volume at their mass…
The latest cosmological N-body simulations find two intriguing properties for dark matter haloes: (1) their radial density profile, rho, is better fit by a form that flattens to a constant at the halo center (the Einasto profile) than the…
We present the evolution of the structure of relaxed cold dark matter haloes in the cosmology from the Planck satellite. Our simulations cover 5 decades in halo mass, from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters. Due to the increased matter…
In this paper we calculate the density profiles of virialized halos both in the case of structure evolving hierarchically from a scale-free Gaussian delta-field having a power spectrum P(k)=A k^n in a Omega=1 Universe and in the case of the…
Cosmological N-body simulations have long suggested that the pseudo phase-space density (PPSD), $\rho/\sigma^3$, of cold dark matter haloes follows the universal relation $\rho/\sigma^3 \propto r^{\chi}$, with $\chi \approx -1.875$, as…
We study the effects of mass and force resolution on the density profiles of galaxy-size Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos in a flat, low-density cosmological model with vacuum energy. We show thatalthough increasing the mass and force…
