The mass function of dark matter halos
We combine data from a number of N-body simulations to predict the abundance of dark halos in Cold Dark Matter universes over more than 4 orders of magnitude in mass. A comparison of different simulations suggests that the dominant uncertainty in our results is systematic and is smaller than 10–30% at all masses, depending on the halo definition used. In particular, our “Hubble Volume” simulati...
متن کاملConstraints on the Radial Mass Distribution of Dark Matter Halos from Rotation Curves
Rotation curves place important constraints on the radial mass distribution of dark matter halos, ρ(r). At large radii, rotation curves tend to become asymptotically flat. For ρ(r) ∝ r, this implies α ≈ −2, which persists as far out as can be measured. At small radii, the data strongly prefer dark matter halos with constant density cores (α ≈ 0) over the cuspy halos (α ≤ −1) predicted by cosmol...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approach to the Spin Distribution of Dark Halos
We derive the distribution of the dimensionless specific angular momentum of dark matter halos, P (j), in the framework of the standard tidal torque theory, and explain the characteristic shape of P (j) commonly observed in N-body simulations. A scalar quantity (shear scalar), r, is introduced for measuring the effective strength of the tidal torque force acting upon the halo from the surroundi...
متن کاملPrecision Determination of the Mass Function of Dark Matter Halos
The predicted mass function of dark matter halos is essential in connecting observed galaxy cluster counts and models of galaxy clustering to the properties of the primordial density field. We determine the mass function in the concordance ΛCDM cosmology, as well as its uncertainty, using sixteen 10243-particle nestedvolume dark-matter simulations, spanning a mass range of over five orders of m...
متن کاملDwarf Dark Matter Halos
We use N-body simulations to study properties of dwarf halos with virial masses in the range 10 − 10hM⊙. Unlike recent reported results, we find that the density profiles of relaxed dwarf halos are well fitted by the NFW profile and do not have cores. We estimate the distribution of concentrations for halos in mass range that covers six orders of magnitude from 10 hM⊙ to 10 13 hM⊙, and find tha...
