Halo profiles from weakly nonlinear initial conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
Using weakly nonlinear conditional PDF for the density field around an overdense region we find that the expected density contrast around a peak is always smaller while its rms fluctuation larger than in the linear case. We apply these results to the spherical model of collapse as developed by Hoffman & Shaham (1985) and find that in the case of open Universe the effect of weakly nonlinear interactions is to decrease the scale from which a peak gathers mass and the mass itself as well as to steepen the final profile of the virialized protoobject.

Evolution of Peaks in Weakly Nonlinear Density Field and Dark Halo Profiles
Using the two-point Edgeworth series up to second order we construct the weakly nonlinear conditional probability distribution function for the density field around an overdense region. This requires calculating the two-point analogues of the skewness parameter S3. We test the dependence of the two-point skewness on distance from the peak for scale-free power spectra and Gaussian smoothing. The...
متن کاملMass function and bias of dark matter halos for non-Gaussian initial conditions
Aims. We revisit the derivation of the mass function and the bias of dark matter halos for non-Gaussian initial conditions. Methods. We use a steepest-descent approach to point out that exact results can be obtained for the large-mass tail of the halo mass function and the two-point correlation of massive halos. Focusing on primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type, we check that these resul...
متن کاملHow universal are the density profiles of dark halos ?
We investigate the formation of virialized halos due to the gravitational collapse of collisionless matter using high-resolution N-body simulations. A variety of formation scenarios are studied, ranging from hierarchical clustering to monolithic radial collapse. The goal of these experiments was to study departures from the universal density profiles recently found to arise in cosmological sett...
متن کاملThe non-linear correlation function and the shapes of virialized halos
The correlation function ξ(r) of matter in the non-linear regime is assumed to be determined by the density profiles ρ(r) and the mass distribution n(M) of virialized halos. The Press–Schechter approach is used to compute n(M), and the stable clustering hypothesis is used to determine the density profiles of these Press–Schechter halos. Thus, the shape and amplitude of ξ(r) on small scales is r...
متن کاملDeriving the Nonlinear Cosmological Power Spectrum and Bispectrum from Analytic Dark Matter Halo Profiles and Mass Functions
We present an analytic model for the fully nonlinear power spectrum P and bispectrum Q of the cosmological mass density field. The model is based on physical properties of dark matter halos, with the three main model inputs being analytic halo density profiles, halo mass functions, and halo-halo spatial correlations, each of which has been well studied in the literature. We demonstrate that thi...
