Using the standard dynamical theory of spherical systems, we calculate the properties of spherical galaxies and clusters whose density profiles obey the universal form first obtained in high resolution cosmological N-body simulations by…
We describe a one-parameter family of models of stable spherical stellar systems in which the phase-space distribution function depends only on energy. The models have similar density profiles in their outer parts ($\rho\propto r^{-4}$) and…
An analytic galaxy model with $\rho \sim r^{-1}$ at small radii and $\rho \sim r^{-3.5}$ at large radii is presented. The asymptotic density fall-off is slower than the Hernquist model, but faster than the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile…
The dynamical properties of spherically symmetric galaxy models, where a Jaffe (1983) stellar density profile is embedded in a total mass density decreasing as $r^{-3}$ at large radii, are presented. The orbital structure of the stellar…
We present a percent-level accurate model of the line-of-sight velocity distribution of galaxies around dark matter halos as a function of projected radius and halo mass. The model is developed and tested using synthetic galaxy catalogs…
The profile of Navarro, Frenk, and White (the NFW profile), which was derived from the {\it N}-body simulations of cold dark-matter halos, is a strong candidate for a galaxy or cluster profile. In order to check the usability of the NFW…
Dynamical properties of two-component galaxy models whose stellar density distribution is described by a gamma-model while the total density distribution has a pure r^(-2) profile, are presented. The orbital structure of the stellar…
We constrain the mass profile and orbital structure of nearby groups and clusters of galaxies. Our method yields the joint probability distribution of the density slope n, the velocity anisotropy beta, and the turnover radius r0 for these…
The properties of the analitycal phase--space distribution function of two-component spherical self-consistent galaxy models, where one density distribution follows the Hernquist profile, and the other a gamma=0 model, with different total…
We test the long-term kinematical stability of a Galactic stellar halo model, due to Kafle, et al. (2012), who study the kinematics of approximately 5000 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The…
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 present spherical, non-rotating, isotropic models of early-type galaxies with stellar and dark-matter components both described by deprojected Sersic density profiles, and prove that they represent physically admissible stable systems.…
We first stress that any spherically symmetric galactic model whose integrated mass profile $M (r) \to 0$ as $r \to 0$ is physically consistent close to the centre only provided that the circular velocity $v_c (r) \to 0$ and the…
We use the kinematic data of the stars in eight dwarf spheroidal galaxies to assess whether $f(R)$ gravity can fit the observed profiles of the line-of-sight velocity dispersion of these systems without resorting to dark matter. Our model…
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 perform N-body simulations of the dynamical evolution of a dwarf galaxy falling into the Milky Way galaxy in order to understand the formation scenario of the peculiar globular cluster $\omega$ Centauri. We use self-consistent models of…
In the context of the CNOC1 cluster survey, redshifts were obtained for galaxies in 16 clusters. The resulting sample is ideally suited for an analysis of the internal velocity and mass distribution of clusters. Previous analyses of this…
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 introduce our project that investigates the kinematic properties of early-type galaxies in 6 distant poor clusters at z~0.25. This study represents a continuation of our efforts to understand galaxy evolution in low-density environments.…
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…
