Caustics in dark matter haloes
Cold dark matter haloes are populated by high-density structures with sharplypeaked profiles known as caustics which have not yet been resolved by 3dimensional numerical simulations. Here, we derive semi-analytic expressions for the density profiles near caustics in haloes which form by self-similar accretions of dark matter with infinitesimal velocity dispersion. A simple rescaling shows that ...
متن کاملThe mass function of dark matter haloes
We combine data from a number of N-body simulations to predict the abundance of dark haloes in cold dark matter (CDM) universes over more than four 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 per cent at all masses, depending on the halo definition used. In particular, our `Hubbl...
متن کاملThe virialized mass of dark matter haloes
Virial mass is used as an estimator for the mass of a dark matter halo. However, the commonly used constant overdensity criterion does not reflect the dynamical structure of haloes. Here we analyze dark matter cosmological simulations in order to obtain properties of haloes of different masses focusing on the size of the region with zero mean radial velocity. Dark matter inside this region is s...
متن کاملThe graininess of dark matter haloes
We use the recently completed one billion particle Via Lactea IIΛ cold dark matter simulation to investigate local properties like density, mean velocity, velocity dispersion, anisotropy, orientation and shape of the velocity dispersion ellipsoid, as well as the structure in velocity space of dark matter haloes. We show that at the same radial distance from the halo centre, these properties can...
متن کاملSecondary infall and dark matter haloes
We test the Secondary Infall Model (SIM) by direct comparison with the results of Nbody simulations. Eight cluster-size and six galactic-size dark matter haloes have been selected at z = 0 and re-simulated with high resolution. Based on their density profiles at the initial redshift, we compute their evolution by the SIM, assuming a simple prescription for the angular momentum. A comparison of ...
