Density profiles and clustering of dark halos and clusters of galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
Density profiles of cosmological virialized systems, or dark halos, have recently attracted much attention. I first present a brief historical review of numerical simulations to quantify the halo density profiles. Then I describe the latest results on the universal density profile and their observational confrontation. Finally I discuss a clustering model of those halos with particular emphasis on the cosmological light-cone effect.

A Universal Density Profile from Hierarchical Clustering
We use high-resolution N-body simulations to study the equilibrium density profiles of dark matter halos in hierarchically clustering universes. We find that all such profiles have the same shape, independent of halo mass, of initial density fluctuation spectrum, and of the values of the cosmological parameters. Spherically averaged equilibrium profiles are well fit over two decades in radius b...
متن کاملA Test of the Collisional Dark Matter Hypothesis from Cluster Lensing
Spergel & Steinhardt proposed the possibility that the dark matter particles are self-interacting, as a solution to two discrepancies between the predictions of cold dark matter models and the observations: first, the observed dark matter distribution in some dwarf galaxies has large, constant-density cores, as opposed to the predicted central cusps; and second, small satellites of normal galax...
متن کاملSe p 20 02 How black holes turn cusps into cores
Collapsing collisionless particle systems form gravitational bound halos with cuspy density profiles. Also hierarchical merging of these systems produce remnants with cuspy central density profiles. These results lead to the assumption of cuspy NFW [5] profiles for the density distribution in dark matter halos. However, observed rotation curves in disk galaxies suggest dark matter halos with is...
متن کاملTriaxial Modeling of Halo Density Profiles with High - resolution N - body Simulations
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 ∼ 10 particles within their virial radius) and the large cosmological simulations (5 realizations with N = 512 particles in a 100hMpc boxsize). The density profiles are well approximated by a sequence of the concentric triaxial distributi...
متن کاملThe Angular Clustering of Distant Galaxy Clusters1
We discuss the angular clustering of galaxy clusters at z > 1 selected within 50 deg2 from the Spitzer WideInfrared Extragalactic survey. We employ a simple color selection to identify high redshift galaxies with no dependence on galaxy rest–frame optical color using Spitzer IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 μm photometry. The majority (>90%) of galaxies with z > 1.3 are identified with ([3.6]− [4.5])AB > −0.1 ...
