چکیده
We investigate the structure of the dark matter halo formed in the cold dark matter scenarios by N-body simulations with parallel treecode on GRAPE cluster systems. We simulated 8 halos with the mass of 4.4 × 10M⊙ to 1.6× 10M⊙ in the SCDM and LCDM model using up to 30 million particles. With the resolution of our simulations, the density profile is reliable down to 0.2 percent of the virial radius. Our results show that the slope of inner cusp within 1 percent virial radius is shallower than −1.5, and the radius where the shallowing starts exhibits run-to-run variation, which means the innermost profile is not universal.

Different mechanisms which may possibly explain existence of magnetic fields on astronomically large scales are described. A recently suggested model of magnetic fields generation slightly before hydrogen recombination is discussed in more detail.

I present an analysis of the density shapes of dark matter halos in ΛCDM and ΛWDM cosmologies. The main results are derived from a statistical sample of galaxy-mass halos drawn from a high resolution ΛCDM N-body simulation. Halo shapes show significant trends with mass and redshift: low-mass halos are rounder than high mass halos, and, for a fixed mass, halos are rounder at low z. Contrary to p...

When analysing dark matter halos forming in cosmological n-body simulations it is common practice to obtain the density profile utilizing spherical shells. However, it is also known that the systems under investigation are far from spherical symmetry and rather follow a triaxial mass distribution. In this study we present an estimator for the error introduced by spherically averaging an ellipti...

Condensation in the outer regions of decaying supernovae is an efficient source of dust with grain size up to more than 1µm. The largest grains leave the parent galaxy, thus forming " grey " intergalactic dust, which can explain the observed dimming of light from distant supernovae without invoking cosmic acceleration.
