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 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…
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 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…
We derive the density profile of cold dark matter halos using a self-similar accretion model. We show that if the clumpiness of the infalling matter is taken into account, then the inner density slope, d(log{rho})/d(log{r}), is close to -1.…
We use the stacked gravitational lensing mass profile of four high-mass (M >~10^{15}Msun) galaxy clusters around z ~ 0.3 from Umetsu et al. to fit density profiles of phenomenological [Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW), Einasto, S\'ersic, Stadel,…
Popular models for describing the luminosity-density profiles of dynamically hot stellar systems (e.g., Jaffe, Hernquist, Dehnen) were constructed with the desire to match the deprojected form of an R^{1/4} light-profile. Real galaxies,…
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…
The distribution of dark matter in the inner regions of galaxies poses a key challenge for small-scale {\Lambda}CDM cosmology. While cold dark matter simulations predict cuspy inner density profiles, observations of low surface brightness…
Galaxies show different halo scaling relations such as the Radial Acceleration Relation, the Mass Discrepancy Acceleration Relation (MDAR) or the dark matter Surface Density Relation (SDR). At difference with traditional studies using…
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…
We present stellar and dark matter (DM) density profiles for a sample of seven massive, relaxed galaxy clusters derived from strong and weak gravitational lensing and resolved stellar kinematic observations within the centrally-located…
We present the morphological analysis based on HST-NIC2 (0.075 arcsec/pixel) images in the F160W filter of a sample of 9 massive field (> 10^{11} M_\odot) galaxies spectroscopically classified as early-types at 1.2<z<1.7. Our analysis shows…
More precise measurements of galaxy clustering will be provided by the next generation of galaxy surveys such as DESI, WALLABY and SKA. To utilize this information to improve our understanding of the Universe, we need to accurately model…
According to the now strongly supported concordance $\Lambda$CDM model, galaxies may be grossly described as a luminous component embedded in a dark matter halo. The density profile of these mass dominating haloes may be determined by N -…
We derive relations between the effective radii $R_{\rm{eff}}$ of galaxies and the virial radii $R_{200c}$ of their dark matter halos over the redshift range $0 < z < 3$. For galaxies, we use the measured sizes from deep images taken with…
The density profile and the clustering of dark matter (DM) halos are two very important ingredients for understanding many observations of galaxies. In this talk, I present our new results for these two quantities from a large set of high…
We present a detailed non-spherical modeling of dark matter halos on the basis of a combined analysis of the high-resolution halo simulations (12 halos with $N\sim 10^6$ particles within their virial radius) and the large cosmological…
We show that the small scatter around the Fundamental Plane (FP) of massive elliptical galaxies can be used to derive important properties of their dark and luminous matter. The central velocity dispersion sigma_0, appearing in (e.g.) the…
We propose a new numerical procedure to simulate a single dark halo of any size and mass in a hierarchical framework coupling the extended Press-Schechter formalism (EPSF) to N-body simulations. The procedure consists of assigning…
