The formulation of the tensor virial equations is generalized to unrelaxed configurations, where virial equilibrium does not coincide with dynamical (or hydrostatic) equilibrium. Further investigation is devoted to special classes of…
Motivated by present indirect evidences that galaxies are surrounded by dark matter halos, we investigate whether their physical properties can be described by a formulation of the virial theorem which explicitly takes into account the…
The shapes of individual self-gravitating structures of an ensemble of identical, collisionless particles have remained elusive for decades. In particular, a reason why mass density profiles like the Navarro-Frenk-White or the Einasto…
With regard to generic two-component systems, the theory of first variations of global quantities is reviewed and explicit expressions are inferred for subsystem potential energies and potential-energy tensors. Performing a conceptual…
Without relying on a spherical or ellipsoidal collapse model, we analytically derive the halo mass function and cuspy halo density (inner slope of -4/3) based on the mass and energy cascade theory in dark matter flow. The hierarchical halo…
Small scale challenges suggest some missing pieces in our understanding of dark matter. A cascade theory for dark matter is proposed to provide extra insights, similar to the cascade phenomenon in hydrodynamic turbulence. The kinetic energy…
Feedback processes from baryons are expected to strongly affect weak-lensing observables of current and future cosmological surveys. In this paper we present a new parametrisation of halo profiles based on gas, stellar, and dark matter…
We explore a function with two shape parameters for the dark-matter halo density profile subject to baryonic effects, which is a special case of the general Zhao family of models applied to simulated dark matter haloes by Dekel et al. This…
Different sequences of ellipsoids are represented on the ellipticity-rotation plane. The rotation parameter is defined as the ratio of kinetic energy related to the mean tangential equatorial velocity component to kinetic energy related to…
The rotation velocity profiles of galaxies (rotation curves) remain unexpectedly flat at large distances, where visible matter alone should make the rotation velocity decrease with radius. Conventionally, this requires a large amount of…
We study the distribution of dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies by modelling the moments of their line-of-sight velocity distributions. We discuss different dark matter density profiles, both cuspy and possessing flat density cores.…
A tensor virial approach is used to construct detailed models of 22 flattened ellipticals. The models are combined with the new observational data: extended surface brightness distributions, the profiles of isophotes flattening and their…
We show that, provided the principal axes of the second velocity moment tensor of a stellar population are generally unequal and are oriented perpendicular to a set of orthogonal surfaces at each point, then those surfaces must be confocal…
We combine observed properties of galaxies as the core density and radius with the theoretical linear evolution of density fluctuations computed from first principles since the end of inflation till today. The halo radius r_0 is computed in…
A family of cusped potential-density pairs is presented for modelling galaxies and dark haloes. The density profile is cusped like 1/r^(2-p) at small radii. The distribution function is simple and takes the form L^(p-2) E^[(3p+1)/2] where E…
Cold dark matter haloes are populated by high-density structures with sharply-peaked profiles known as caustics which have not yet been resolved by 3-dimensional numerical simulations. Here, we derive semi-analytic expressions for the…
The scalar-vector-tensor theories with second-order equations of motion can accommodate both Horndeski and generalized Proca theories as specific cases. In the presence of a perfect fluid, we study the cosmology in such a most general…
We add to the lore of spherical, stellar-system models a two-parameter family with an anisotropic velocity dispersion, and a central point mass (``black hole''). The ratio of the tangential to radial dispersions, is constant--and…
We present a new model for galactic bars with exponentially falling major axis luminosity profiles and Gaussian cross-sections. This is based on the linear superposition of Gaussian potential-density pairs with an exponential weight…
We study physics of clusters of galaxies embedded in the cosmic dark energy background. Under the assumption that dark energy is described by the cosmological constant, we show that the dynamical effects of dark energy are strong in…
